The High Times Hemp Cup: People’s Choice Edition is aimed to identify and award the best Hemp-Derived CBD products across the nation, across a wide range of different categories, all to be judged by the great people of our nation. This event will be the first-ever competition that is open to the nationwide public and will see the largest pool of judges in history. This is a sampling dream to get your products into the hands of hundreds of new customers who will provide feedback on your entries, plus thousands of impressions. May the best products win!
This is a Hemp-Derived CBD competition only. All products must be registered by the State of origin and must have proof of lab results confirming the product is Hemp-Derived and under 0.3% Delta-9 THC. Further details provided upon confirmation.
NEW! Judge Kits will be High Times Hemp Cup branded boxes, each with products from all categories. So as judges order kits, they will receive samples from each category to judge themselves or with friends. Pet Products will be a separate add-on for Pet owners. Think of it like Birchbox or HempCrate.
