The Best in Grass (BiG) Awards are born from a combined 12 years of experience running the world’s largest cannabis competitions. The competition serves to identify and award the best licensed cannabis products in each State around the country. Cultivators and processors will submit their best products into the competition, the BiG team will create one-of-a-kind Judge Kits to be distributed by dispensaries across the state, and real everyday consumers will anonymously judge all products at home over 4-8 weeks. All of this feedback will go back to the entrants as a value add. Best of all, the competitors, judges, and brands will celebrate in-person at a LIVE event where the winners will be crowned.

For Brands, this is a sampling opportunity to get your brand and products into the hands of dispensary buyers, as well as hundreds of new customers who will provide feedback on your entries, plus thousands of impressions. Judges are rating your products on criteria such as Visual Appeal, Aroma, Taste, and Effects, plus comments. All of the data submitted for a brand’s products will be provided to them after the Awards Show.

For Retailers, your customers want unique offerings at an affordable price. They want to try new brands and new products to see what they like and what they dislike. The Best in Grass Judge Kits are a unique, one-of-a-kind offering of various products and brands from across the State. Best in Grass will hand-select an exclusive network of dispensaries across each state to be the only dispensaries in the State to have these Judge Kits, provide targeted marketing support to drive digital and physical traffic to each dispensary to purchase the Judge Kits, and offer incentives for these customers (the Judges) to complete their judging and return back to the dispensary for additional purchase using a credit paid for by Best in Grass.

You may participate by being either a State-licensed cultivator or processor, with all products properly tested and in the State’s track and trace system, and who registers in advance to reserve an entry slot to submit into the competition. Please email us at BestinGrass.io/contact.

We love working with brands big and small, far and wide, who are dedicated to providing value to the cannabis industry. These sponsors want their brand to get valuable impressions and engagement from high-value cannabis enthusiasts and brands. Sound like you? Email us at BestinGrass.io/contact

Come one, come all! This competition is open to the public and will see thousands of Judges in each State. From the longtime storied smokers with discerning tastes, to the new soccer mom who wants to test out a lotion or edible instead of alcohol at the end of the day. Judge Kits will be available for purchase on a first-come, first-serve basis on the day of on-sale in each state for each competition. Sign up for updates at BestinGrass.io/Judge to be the first to get notifications on the dispensary locations, categories of Kits, pricing, and more Judging instructions and incentives.

Yes! Bringing the community together to celebrate the top brands and products in each State is one of our top priorities. Our events will be intimate, 1-day events focused on highlighting the winners of the Best in Grass awards show, with limited opportunities available for on-site activations, sponsorships, and other branding placement opportunities.
