It’s time to crown the winners of the Cannabis Cup Illinois: People’s Choice Edition! Returning for the second time to Illinois for this virtual competition and awards show, we’ve put the judging power in the hands of the great people of the Prairie State. Judges from across Illinois were able to identify and choose the well-deserved winning cannabis products in a wide range of different categories, all from the comfort of their own homes.

We’d like to give a huge thank you to all the judges who put their hearts and souls into judging the competition entries to help determine the best of Illinois! This was the second-ever competition that was open to the public of Illinois, and we had the largest pool of judges in history. Thank you to our intake and retail partners, Ascend and Zen Leaf, for making this a success with us. We can’t wait to return next year!
