Congratulations to our 2023 Award Winners!

With over 250 submissions representing some of the finest cannabis and cultivators throughout California, we are proud to present the 2023 CA State Fair Cannabis Award Winners in Silver, Gold, and the Golden Bear trophies 

Once again, the 2023 science-based competition evaluated flower only across three divisions: Indoor, Outdoor, and Mixed Light; and in eleven categories per division: three primary cannabinoids, six terpenes, one co-dominant terpene profile, and total terpene content.

Each submission was tested by SC Labs to the highest standards, which generated a PhytoFacts® chemometric report that verified the results by division and category. Medals were awarded based on terpene or cannabinoid abundance in each of the eleven categories. Terpene 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, across the entire competition. These are our all-around winners.
