2022 Hemp Edibles and Topicals Winner, @potomacindica

We’re excited to announce that registration for the National Cannabis Championship is open! Cannabis pros and aficionados have the opportunity to register to have their best buds go nug to nug with growers from Virginia and the District of Columbia.

Entries are subject to rigorous testing and judging rounds with the finalists coming together for an epic awards ceremony live on stage April 22nd, 2023, on the main stage at the National Cannabis Festival in Washington, D.C.

Through NCC, we hope to accomplish three goals:

• Highlight east coast cannabis cultivators 

• Educate the community about cannabis consumer safety and best growing practices

• Prepare cannabis enthusiasts and patients with information to advocate for legal home grow in states that still carry restrictions

Most of all, we want to celebrate great cannabis!

We know you probably have a lot of questions right now (like…What are the 2023 categories? Who are the judges? Where do you have to reside to be eligible to take part? And so many more!). Check out the 2023 Rules and Entry Guidelinesfor instructions, and details you need to know to compete.  We’ll also be introducing you to the NCC Coordinator and share information about our judges soon.

Don’t worry, you have some time to get your home grow ready. The deadline to submit your cannabis is Saturday, March 4th, 2023, but register asap to save your place in the competition.
