01Beginnings
The sources do not say when the Texas Hemp Classic started, who dreamed it up, or how many editions came before the one they cover.
What they do show is a competition built around Texas-grown hemp, with its own producer and a national media partner behind it.12 One headline says the event "Returns to Austin", which hints it had been held before, but the sources give no history beyond that.1
02The story
The edition described in the sources was set for 31 January 2025 at the Vulcan Gas Company in Austin, Texas, presented by PreRoll-Er.1 One article calls the venue a comedy venue and does not name the city.2
There were two contests: an outdoor and mixed-light hemp competition, and a preroll competition.1 The second article describes the categories as Outdoor Grown and Preroll Cup.2
SC Labs, the event's lab partner, does terpene analysis on all entries.12 Judging is described as a mix of blind tasting and professional analysis.2
The sources do not say who won, and the second article was written while the judges were still deliberating.2
03Culture
The event was about more than trophies. A Texas Growers Summit ran alongside the contest, covering lighting, grow construction, post-harvest and retail.1
The finale was an awards show for the best Texas hemp products, followed by a comedy show.1 Jay Massey was lined up to blow glass live for the winners' cup.1
Featured contestants included Taylor Kirk of 4K Pharm, Brentton Smith of 1Team Cannabis, Sean Latham of Doobie Blue Genetics, and Jake Garry of Freshgrown Texas, who is described as a past winner.2
