01Beginnings
The New Mexico Growers Cup is described as a yearly marijuana growing contest that is also a festival1. It is held in Timberon, New Mexico1. The only source gathered for this page is an episode page from an El Paso podcast, and it names Matthew Wright as the cup's founder1.
According to the episode notes, Wright talks about how the festival began1. The notes do not give that story, so the founding year and his reasons for starting the event are not documented here.
02The story so far
The one source gathered is a short episode description. It covers the founder's account of how the event began and the plans for that year's festival1. It says nothing about milestones, venue changes, rule changes, past winners or disputes.
This page does not guess at how the event grew or changed over the years. Local news coverage, organizer announcements or a recording of the interview could fill this part in later.
03Culture and community
In the interview, Wright also discusses why he started growing at home himself1. The notes do not give his answer, so this page can only say that the subject came up.
The cup was featured on a podcast based in El Paso, Texas, which covers music, art and culture in its area and beyond1. This page documents nothing more about the wider scene around the event.
The episode's cover image is credited to the New Mexico Growers Cup1.
04Where it stands now
The most recent dated information is from 20 April 2021, when the podcast episode was posted. At that point the cup was described as an annual event1.
Nothing later is documented. These sources cannot say whether the cup has run every year since, changed its format or stopped, so this page makes no claim about whether it is still active.
05Looking ahead
The episode said the festival would take place on 1 May in Timberon, New Mexico1. The year 2021 is inferred from the episode's posting date of 20 April 2021 and its mention of that year's festival1.
No later plans were found. This page does not cover dates or changes after the 2021 festival.
