The Judging Process:

The People’s Choice Cannabis Cup employs a two-tiered digital (online) score sheet that includes a Public score and Expert score.

Each Score (Public & Expert) will account for approximately 50 percent of the total score. This score sheet will be scored by each Judge and will measure his or her personal/professional opinions of each entry. Categories are scored 1-5 by each judge (5 being the highest score).

Expert Judges will be given Submissions days prior to the event in order to sample and submit scores. On the day of the event, Public Judges will evaluate and Score submissions online, at the event. We will calculate each Judge’s score for each entry, and average the 2 scores together, giving a final Total Score and thus our winners.
