At its launch, the competition consisted of five categories: "Graines de Top," "Graines d’animateur," "Graines de comique," "Graines d’imitateur," and "Graines de chanteur." According to the initial entertainment format, three candidates compete in each category. All the young people are sponsored by a star (Greg Hansen for the "Tops" in the first episode). As they take the stage, the guests reflect on their beginnings, sharing anecdotes and archival footage. Over time, new categories have been created such as « Graines de danseur » (dancer) (at the request of the public) and "Graines de comédiens » (comedian).
