The Scavenger hunt was a hit from our Presenting Sponsor , The Amazing Doctor Zymes . There were so many amazing products that the judges were really splitting hairs in most cases . Buff Cherry was the real standout flower from Elevate –– it won 1st Place in our Flower Category . The Homegrown / Medical 1st Place winner came hard with Grape Cream Cake grown by Charles Unger . We can ’ t wait to grow with the community –– next year will be bigger , and better !”
Blind Judging by 11 Curated Industry Peers ( Cannabis Industry Experts ). No random judges . No kits could be bought or judged by their own company staff . Judges didn ’ t see brands or strain names –– 100 % blind judging . Great care was taken in product storage , lab testing , chain of command , and how judges ’ kits were prepared . Sponsors only win if they earn it . Scoring process focused on many factors , including taste , look , smell , and high .
