Ten marijuana brands won trophies in the inaugural MJBowl, a bi-coastal cannabis competition presented by MJBizCon and social review platform Budist.

The competition, designed to spotlight the Most Valuable Products across five major product categories in two major markets, brought together licensed producers from California and New York for a cross-market showcase of craft innovation and product excellence.

“We wanted to bring a level of rigor and shared language to how we assess and celebrate cannabis products,” said Jocelyn Sheltran, co-founder and CEO of cannabis product review platform Budist.

“This competition is about recognizing the hard work of producers and creatin ga platform that translates quality to consumers.”

First cannabis product competition at MJBizCon

For participating brands, MJBowl is more than a trophy.

Winners received travel credits, concierge services, media opportunities and product placement at Gotham’s four New York stores and The Artist Tree’s 12 shops in California.

For some winners, like Matthew Robbins of New Roots Gardens, it was the first time attending MJBizCon – and visiting Las Vegas.

“I’m a bit surprised (to win) being such a small producer, but the judges recognized the quality, and I’m grateful for that,” Robbins said. “There’s really high demand for products like this in New York. I think this will open up other opportunities for me.”
