The excitement surrounding the 2025 Connoisseur Cup season is reaching its peak with the inauguration of #PotOberfest on October 26th, marking the commencement of what is set to be the most monumental cannabis competition to date. Rather than delving into hyperboles, we extend an open invitation for you to witness the spectacle firsthand.#PotOberfest heralds the start of an eight-month journey of blind judging competitions. Starting in October, we begin accepting entries and orchestrating daily judging sessions, all culminating in a main event at each month's end through April, with final judgments rendered by May 20th. Our Official Judges are afforded a full 30 days for thorough evaluations of each submission. With the exception of edibles, all entries undergo blind assessments, with judges privy only to the entry number. Entries are meticulously evaluated based on a comprehensive sensory experience—the Connoisseur100 rating system. This includes 20 points each for smell, appearance, taste, effect, and overall smoothness, culminating in a cumulative score between 1 and 100.
The most outstanding entries each month are not only spotlighted but also invited to restock at any point from their initial entry through to the Finals, or they may retain their scores and feedback from the round they participated in to see how they fare. Our mission is unambiguous: to identify and showcase the premier cannabis, concentrates, and edible producers & creators, both within the industry and the community at large. We welcome entries from recreational, medical, and non-industry caregivers, all competing in distinct categories but ultimately vying for the coveted title of Overall Grand Champion—a recognition that commands a lifetime of respect.
Entry fee is set at $250 per submission. All #PotOberfest entries are due on or before October 26th. Accepting entries October 1st. #DavesNotHereMan
