Cannabis Cup Winners

As marijuana legality continues to surge globally, so too are the number of cannabis competitions being held annually with winners often achieving domestic or international acclaim for their prize-winning cannabis seeds.

Such has been the remarkable evolution in cannabis breeding techniques, growing and crossbreeding different marijuana seeds has become something of an artistic endeavour as breeders (known as strain hunters within the industry) battle to create the next generation of exotic and enticing cannabis strains.

Cannabis Cup Events Around the Globe

Every year, hundreds of different cannabis companies and growing enthusiasts, both amateur and professional, claim to have developed the best and most potent cannabis strains. As such, in order to have a clear and objective idea of which marijuana strains are truly the best in their field, prestigious events take place in cannabis hotspots like Amsterdam, California and Barcelona every year with a panel of judges determining the winners. 

A variety of cannabis strain types including indica strains, sativa strains and hybrid strains are judged in separate categories, as are the different types of growing techniques with organic and hydroponic categories including marijuana seeds grown indoors in a greenhouse or those grown in the great outdoors.

Some of the most renowned and successful cannabis competitions today include the Highlife Cannabis Cup, the Spannabis Cup, and the High Times Cannabis Cup. Perhaps the most famous cannabis festival of all, The High Times Cannabis Cup was founded back in 1988. In this ever-growing event, judges from around the world sample and vote for their favourite cannabis strains (nice gig) from the dozens of entries in varying categories, even including medical cannabis categories.

Unfortunately, Amsterdam held its final High Times Cannabis Cup in November 2014, partly because of the changes and increased uncertainty surrounding Dutch cannabis laws. However, with the availability of newly legal cannabis locations across the United States and other countries like Canada and Spain, host locations for this acclaimed event have not been short in supply. 

Back in 2010, the U.S hosted it’s first High Times Cannabis Cup event and now holds Cannabis Cup events in Northern & Sothern California, Denver, Michigan and Seatle, with more locations like Jamaica and Spain pencilled in for future years.

High Times Cannabis cup events will typical include live music, educational seminars and an exposition for marijuana-related products from cannabis oriented companies with past cup winners hailing from famed seeds bank´s including Royal Queen Seeds, Barneys Farm, DNA Genetics, Soma Seeds, Nirvana Seeds and Big Buddha Seeds.

While the High Times cup remains the world´s most famous cannabis event, The Cannabis Champions Cup is one of Europe´s foremost cannabis events with the event held in conjunction with the Spannabis Hemp Fairs of Barcelona, Madrid and Malaga. Indeed, Spain, which has become something of a cannabis hotbed in recent years due to increased growing legality and the introduction of cannabis associations, hosts a number of fairs and events throughout the year.
