Best in Grass Cannabis Competition: Rochester’s Exclusive Judge Kit Experience at Flower City Dispensary
The Best in Grass Cannabis Competition is coming to Rochester, NY, and Flower City Dispensary is giving local cannabis consumers a rare chance to do more than shop: they can become the judges. This limited cannabis competition kit is not just another dispensary deal. It is an exclusive opportunity for adults 21+ in the Rochester area to sample New York cannabis products, give real feedback, and help decide which brands deserve to be crowned among the best.
Best in Grass, also known as the BiG Awards, is a consumer-driven cannabis competition created to identify and award the best licensed cannabis products in each state. Licensed cultivators and processors submit their products, Best in Grass builds curated Judge Kits, and everyday cannabis consumers evaluate the products at home over a judging period. Judges rate products on categories such as visual appeal, aroma, taste, effects, and overall experience, with feedback going back to participating brands.
What makes the Best in Grass Cannabis Competition different is that the judges are real consumers. You do not need to be an industry insider, buyer, or cannabis critic to participate. To become a judge, you purchase a Judge Kit, try the products responsibly, and submit your reviews through the Best in Grass judging process. Best in Grass states that you must purchase a Judge Kit to become a judge, which means the people deciding the winners are the same people buying, testing, and reviewing the kits.
The competition was created by cannabis event veterans with deep experience in large-scale judging competitions. Best in Grass describes itself as coming from former High Times competition executives and cannabis professionals, and industry coverage identifies co-founders Mark Kazinec and Joey Posney as the people behind the platform. Their goal is to take the best parts of cannabis competitions and make them more meaningful for brands, retailers, and everyday consumers.
For Rochester, this is a big deal. The Best in Grass Judge Kit experience is exclusive and limited, and kits are sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Once they are gone, they are gone. That means anyone who wants to judge should not wait. This is not a product that will sit on shelves forever. It is a special competition kit tied to a statewide judging experience, and Flower City Dispensary is the local Rochester-area destination to shop for it.
