Congratulations to our inaugural Award Winners!

With over 300 submissions representing some of the finest cannabis and cultivators throughout California, we are proud to present the 2022 CA State Fair Cannabis Award Winners in Silver, Gold, and the Golden Bear trophies representing the “Best of California.”

The 2022 science-based competition evaluated flower only across three (3) divisions: Indoor, Outdoor, and Mixed Light; and in ten (10) categories per division: three primary cannabinoids, six terpenes and one co-dominant terpene profile.

Each submission was tested by SC Labs to the highest standards, which generated its own Phytofacts® chemometric report that verified the results by division and category. Medals were awarded based on overall terpene or cannabinoid expression in each of the ten categories. Terpenes winners were further evaluated by category by considering the ratio of each terpene against the overall terpene concentration in each submission.  This ensured that each flower was properly classified and true to its unique makeup.

Golden Bear trophies (also known as “Best of California” trophies per CA State Fair tradition) were awarded to the top Gold Medalists from each Category, regardless of Division. These are our all-around winners.
