Once the judges have submitted their feedback, we’ll announce the first place winners that have earned themselves the renowned High Times Cannabis Cup trophy—an honorable award that proves that their product rises above the rest of the competition.
The trophy, which was designed by Alex and Allyson Grey, is made of zinc and 24K gold plating. First-place winners will also be given a full page advertisement in High Times magazine, a complete report of the competition scores and comment feedback, winner decals to place on your product packaging, a mention in our online article featuring the winners of the High Times Cannabis Cup Massachusetts: People’s Choice Edition 2022 (as well as being recorded as a winner on cannabiscup.com) and of course, inclusion of the winning brands for each category on High Times social media channels (shared on the High Times timeline, story and story highlights).
Second place winners will receive a silver medal made of pewter and a silver ribbon with your winning category inscribed on it, as well as a half-page advertisement in High Times magazine, second place art assets for product packaging (along with all of the aforementioned judge’s report, and inclusion of the win online and on social media).
Third place winners will receive a bronze medal, made from pewter and bronze plating, with a matching bronze ribbon and the winning category inscribed on it, and a half-page advertisement in High Times magazine as well.
Even the products that do not win first, second, or third place in their respective categories can win in other ways. All products and brands will be included and tagged on social media in order to support Massachusetts cannabis companies and everything they bring to the table. During our Awards Show, we also do a shout-out and thank all competitors for participating in our competition. Best of all, the High Times Report is available upon request, should you like to learn more about what the judges thought of your product, and where it is ranked through our scoring system.
All products must be licensed by CCC and we cannot accept caregiver product.
A special thanks to our official intake partner, NETA.
I will never support this event as long as NETA is involved.
I work for Neta at the production facility, I’m guessing you did at 1 point too? I know a lot has changed this yr, new president new ceo and coo, if you are referring to leadership…. I see flower tested in front of me, all day long sometimes, if you are speaking of product quality. Sorry you have had a negative experience, but I love my job and the people I work with.
The entries last year were non of the best stuff in the State.
i think this year will be differnet
‘
Nope…. some decent stuff, not the best stuff in the state.
Some was literally clearance weed selling for 25 an 8th. A few samples this year were straight boof, that moldy grow room taste!
