About the Cultivators Cup

The Cultivators Cup was created to spotlight and empower emerging licensed cannabis cultivators while giving consumers the unique opportunity to provide honest feedback on various cannabis and cannabis-infused products.

This event celebrates the cannabis community—bringing people together to welcome, support, and build connections around a shared passion for cannabis.

Attendees from the region are invited to enjoy a safe, vibrant atmosphere featuring world-class entertainment, diverse gourmet food options, artisan and industry vendors, and an unforgettable cannabis experience.

How the Competition is Judged

Starting at a later-to-be-specified date, limited edition “judges’ kits” will be available at a to-be-determined location in Phoenix, Arizona. Each kit includes 28 individual 1-gram samples of flower, carefully curated from licensed cultivators across Arizona.

By purchasing a judges’ kit, participants join a true blind cannabis competition, helping to uncover who grows the finest bud in the desert.

Why the Cultivators Cup?

Sponsoring the Cultivators Cup was an easy decision for Custom 420 Supply. This event brings together some of the most talented cultivators in the industry, giving them a platform to display their craft and compete in a way that elevates cannabis culture.

Our goal was to introduce these innovators to high-end packaging solutions that could set their brands apart.

By providing cutting-edge packaging options, we help businesses take their branding to the next level.

A Historical Step for Cannabis in New England

The Cultivators Cup is more than just a competition—it’s a movement that has made history in the New England cannabis scene. As the first event in both Rhode Island and Massachusetts to allow licensed operators to compete and be judged by actual consumers, it has set the precedent for the industry’s future.

It was also among the first to permit open cannabis consumption, breaking barriers and paving the way for even more progressive events to follow. These milestones mark significant progress for the cannabis industry in the region, helping to shape a more open and connected community.
