The Awards Ceremony
The climax of the week's events is
the presentation of the Cannabis Cup awards. This year ten cups were
given for the best marijuana, hashish, show booth, seed store, hemp fashion,
coffeeshop and a final cup (THE Cannabis Cup) given to whatever the judges
choose, person, place, or product. This event is the culmination
of years of work by the companies involved and days of testing by 1500
judges. The fierce competition, especially among the seed companies
and coffeeshops, was evident by the intense lobbying which included giving
out sample product (many pounds total) at the 4:20 council, to the Celebrity
judges (hoping for endorsements), and at various other venues and events.
This year's awards were dominated
by the Greenhouse whose new coffeeshop and seed company won. De Dampkring
also did well, winning The Cannabis Cup and several of their cannabis offerings
won for both hash and grass. The Ohio Hempery also won awards for
best booth and best hemp products.
