2024 High Spirits Awards: Now Accepting Entries
The 2024 High Spirits Awards are now open to all Cannabinoid-Infused Beverages!
L.A. Spirits Awards announced that entries are now open for their 2024 High Spirits Awards. This is a great chance to get your cannabis and hemp-derived products in front of leading experts in the cannabis industry. This year’s categories include:
Coffee/Tea, Water/Sparkling Water/Seltzer (including flavored), Soda, Juice, Powder/Liquid Additive, Beer/Cider/Wine, Spirit, Ready-to-Drink Cocktail, Energy Drink, Shot, Other infused Beverage or Beverage Additives.
High Spirits Awards is open to the following infused beverage products:
- Cannabis-derived products that are legally sold in California. 
- Hemp-derived products from anywhere.

Awards/Medals
Every High Spirits Award entry is first evaluated solely on its own merits—not in competition with other entries—to determine its medal worthiness. It is only when a product advances to the finals round that it competes against others in its category for a coveted “Best in Show” award.
