3. The"Sorting Hat Event"
Intake grading party, all double-blind, narrowing submissions down to the "Top 20" of CBD & THC strains.
All flowers will receive at least twelve independent reviews, based on the visual and aromatic qualities of the plant.
Even if your flower doesn't make it past this point, you will have enough feedback to understand why.
4. People's Choice Popup
Grading Parties
Think buffet-style grading experience. We will be bringing the "Top 20" strains of CBD & THC on the road with us from Buffalo - to - Long Island. Throw in some music & local vendors, and we will have ourselves a good time.
We expect to have 100+ public judges grading your flower on looks (and possibly smell, depending on health & safety restrictions).
From these parties, we will narrow down to the "Top 10" strains of the CUP - all of which will be sent to our judges across the state.
5. 50+ Judging Kits Sent Out
The "Top 10" strains of both CBD & THC will get delivered across the state to all of our People's Choice & Industry Judges. Flowers will be graded on their look, smell, resin, cure & more.
(10) Industry Judges will be grading
the "Top 10" CBD & THC flowers.
(40) Peoples Choice judges will be able to
grade the "Top 10" CBD flowers.
(14) Lucky folks from the public will
be grading both CBD & THC
6. Livestream Grading Event.
We welcome all judges to join the Industry Judges for a live stream event analyzing the "Top 10" flowers live. Consider this a teaser to the awards ceremony.
7. FLWR CITY CUP Awards Party
This is going to be an event you will not want to miss. All these festivities culminate into the FLWR CITY CUP awards party to be held in Rochester, April of 2022.
There will be 50+ vendors, live music & presentations, and of course the awards and recognition ceremony.
Stay tuned for the after party :)
