The Australian Cannabis Cup is an annual cannabis competition [2] held in Nimbin, New South Wales, Australia. It has been celebrated since before 1995 and is known for recognizing excellence in cannabis produce.
The event features judges from around Australia who sample and vote for their favourite cannabis varieties, with cups (trophies) being awarded to the overall winner in the cannabis variety competition and in the best wax , dabs and rosin categories.
The Australian Cannabis Cup gained national attention in 1995 when it was featured in a documentary by 60 Minutes. Over the years, the event has evolved, with a focus on two primary categories: buds/flowers and extracts like oils and hash. In recent years, Alec ‘Craze’ Zammitt and Will Stolk, members of the 420 cannabis protest group 'Who Are We Hurting?,' have documented the event through video coverage.
Award categories include Best Flower, Wax or Dab, Best Hash, (hashish that is produced only in Australia). A team of judges decides which grower has grown the Best Indica, Best Sativa, and Best Hash.
The U.S. Cannabis Cup recognizes marijuana in states that have passed laws that legalize marijuana for adult, recreational use. Teams of expert judges vote on Best Indica, Best Sativa, Best Hybrid,
While in Australia the illegality of Cannabis has made the Cannabis Cup more of an underground hush ,hush affair for members of the tight knit cannabis community.

More than just a competition, the Australian Cannabis Cup fosters community and camaraderie among cannabis enthusiasts and positively impacts the local Nimbin community.
The event operates in a legal landscape where recreational cannabis remains illegal at the federal level in Australia. Nevertheless, changing attitudes toward cannabis legislation and the growing medicinal cannabis industry have influenced the event's reception and its role in the broader discourse on cannabis in Australia.
