The Canadian Cannabis Awards, presented by Lift & Co. LIFT LFCOF, are a celebration of the top people, products and companies in the cannabis industry.
The top people, brands and organizations of the year are determined by a panel of expert judges, and top products of the year are chosen by consumers. Product reviews and purchase receipts submitted to Lift.co validate voters as consumers of the products they choose, ensuring objectivity and fairness in voting.
This week, the company released its short list for 2019 nominees.
"Lift & Co. is a trusted platform for brands and consumers to access cannabis information through cannabis reviews, consumers insights data and education," Lift & Co.'s CEO Matei Olaru told Benzinga. "With the CCAs, Lift.co gives consumers a powerful voice to vote for the products they've loved through the year based on their submitted reviews and purchase receipts and, the industry a chance to be recognized by their peers and supporters. A CCAs win is a key achievement and demonstrates how brands have resonated with consumers, providing an invaluable point of differentiation in an increasingly competitive growing marketplace."
