You, yes YOU, get to Judge the Competition!

The Amsterdam Cannabis Cup is the only cup in which guests can act as judges in the competition. When you buy a Judge’s Pass, you’ll have the opportunity to try the flower, edibles, hash, and more from the 2018 Amsterdam Cannabis Cup competitors.

Here’s how it works: when you get a three-day judge’s pass, you’ll go on an exciting self-guided tour of the local coffee shops who have entered the Cannabis Cup competition. At each coffee shop, you can purchase the various strains, edibles, and hash that the coffee shop staff have put forth for the competition. At the end of the tour, you’ll get to try out each product and then vote for a winner in each category. Think of it as a pub crawl ending in the People’s Choice Awards!

The coffee shop tour runs from Friday at 12 pm until Sunday at 4:20 pm. Voting takes place at the Melkweg at our voting table. All ballots must be in by Sunday at 4:20.

As a special thank you for your commitment, we’ll give you a gift bag with various accessories, tools, and other fun memorabilia.
