COUNTDOWN TO FIRST ENTRY DEADLINE
It is our mission to highlight the legal cannabis industry’s success stories, so we established the Cannabiz Awards for Australia and New Zealand to recognise and reward the best in the business.
Each category is judged by some of the most respected people in the industry in a rigorous, two-stage process, so if you or your employer take home a gong, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing you really earned it. Held in May, the presentation ceremony will celebrate a sector which is changing lives.

Meet the Judges
The awards are judged by an esteemed panel of industry leaders and experts with a minimum of four jurors per category. In stage one the judges will select a shortlist, while in stage two they will meet to discuss the entries before scoring independently against the judging criteria to determine the winner. Jurors will not vote in categories where they have a direct interest or where there is another conflict. While sponsors are welcome to enter the Cannabiz Awards - and we are very grateful for their support - sponsorship has no bearing on the results.
