King of Jars
September 19, 2026
Los Angeles
King of Jars is built to be judged the right way.
Two categories. Rosin and Flower. Thirty competitors in each. A fixed field. A controlled system. And a result that is earned, not influenced. This is a competition where the outcome actually holds weight, because it comes directly from the people judging it.
Each category is evaluated by 110 judges split between 8PG members and invited industry figures. Every entry is blind and randomized, distributed across every Judges Kit in a different order. You take it on your own time, on your own setup, with no pressure and no outside noise. The scoring is secure, tied to your kit, and submitted digitally. The result comes from the judges and the judges only.
Your Judges Kit is the entry point. Built to match the level of the competition, it arrives complete, organized, and ready to run through every entry properly. You receive it ahead of time, a full 30 day judging window, giving you the space to go through everything the way it should be done.
Then everything comes together in Los Angeles on September 19. A full scale 8PG event with 1,000+ guests, 60+ brands, and the environment the community already knows. The winners are revealed live during the awards ceremony, in front of the people who understand what it took to get there.
This is not something you watch. This is something you are part of.
