How to Enter the

Flower Competition

Here's How

Fill out the entry form on the California Cannabis Awards website.

Once we receive it, we’ll send an invoice for the entry fee. Once that is paid, you’re ready to compete.

Each entry requires 10 units of shelf-ready product. All submissions will move through the licensed California supply chain as penny units in compliance with state regulations.

All entrants must provide a valid Certificate of Analysis (COA) from a California-licensed cannabis testing laboratory to participate.

SC Labs clients who have obtained their COA and requisite testing will not undergo additional testing, as the results of that test will be used for the competition.

Incentives for SC Labs’ current and new clients are available, including:

For the Outdoor Flower Category, submissions which obtained their COA and the proper testing from SC Labs between October 1, 2025, and February 22, 2026, may be eligible.
All other SC Labs client flower submissions are subject to a retroactive January 1 to February 22, 2026, test allowance.

Distributor logistics are powered by our partners, Nabis and Redwood Roots, with drop-off locations in Oakland, Los Angeles, and Garberville, California. Product drop-off will officially open on 4/20/2026. All competition products must be received no later than May 22, 2026, the close of the competition submission window.

Before the 4/20 drop-off window opens, you will receive instructions, including manifest preparation and drop-off details, to ensure a smooth transfer.
