The Emerald Cup 2021 Photo Contest Winner:
- Resilience, David Cooper
The Emerald Cup would not be possible without the generous support of SC Labs (www.sclabs.com), the Emerald Cup’s 11-year testing partner, who this year debuted new terpene data technology into the judging process (more information available here https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/the-emerald-cup-2021-and-sc-labs-partner-on-new-data-driven-approach-to-judging-301265561.html). An innovation that allows for a greater understanding and appreciation for the diversity and range of cannabis chemistry and chemotypes. Through SC Labs’ sorting process, judges rate similar terpene profiles against each other to choose the “best-of-class” winner for each, much like how wines are judged in similar events.
The Emerald Cup winners are being awarded one-of-a-kind trophies created by famed glass artist Ryan Fitt who collaborated with presenting partner Puffco (www.puffco.com). In past years, judges have used the Puffco Peak while scoring hash concentrate entries, and this year CEO Roger Volodarsky was a judge in the solventless category.
“Puffco’s participation in the Emerald Cup is both an honor and a natural fit,” says Kevin Chapman, Director of Events at Puffco. “The Emerald Cup competition offers the very best in cannabis for both flower and for concentrates, and Puffco’s collaboration with Ryan Fitt on these custom Peak Pro trophies is our way of acknowledging the effort, hard work and the artisanship of these creators.”
