Living Soil Cup Details
There will be Judges Choice Awards as well as a Best in Show. Judges Choice categories will be announced closer to the time of the Event. You may enter up to 4 items in each category if you wish.
To be eligible to enter you must purchase a ticket for attendance with a competition slot for each item you wish to enter and show up in person to drop off your sample by the cutoff time of 12:00PM on Saturday November 2nd, Day one of the Buildasoil Days and Living Soil Cup event.
Competition entry size requirements are 14 grams for each flower entry and 5 grams for each rosin entry.
After you purchase your tickets you will receive an email with entry submission forms. Please fill out a submission form for each entry and bring with your samples to the sample submission table at the event which will be clearly marked.
A team of employees will anonymize and number every entry for the judges to review, meaning that the judging will be double blind, fair and impartial with not even the judges knowing who submitted what until a winner is selected.
We ask that competitors do not post about or discuss their entry until after the event concludes so that judges can do their best to be fair and impartial.
Good luck to everyone entering!
We hope to see you in Western Colorado this November!
Locations and Lodging
A vehicle and driving or networking with others will be required to make it to both day locations, and the dinner, and/or hot springs.
The Full BuildASoil Days and Living Soil Cup Experience is spread out along the Western Slope of Colorado, from Ridgway to Grand Junction, including Montrose and Paonia.
This region has many offerings thru AirBnB and VRBO as well as hotels, bed and breakfast houses, and hostels.
There are commercial airports with major airlines in Montrose and Grand Junction.
Ridgway
We are Meeting at Orvis Hot Springs on November 1st Friday afternoon around 4:20pm, Orvis closes at 9:00pm. Camping and lodging is likely to sell out at Orvis. Chipeta Lodge and MTN Lodge are nearby hotels in Ridgway within just a few miles of the hot springs.
Montrose
The BuildASoil store is located at the north end of Montrose, this is the venue location for Day 1 of the BuildASoil Days and Living Soil Cup on Saturday, November 2nd. Hampton Inn and Fairfield Inn are both on the North side of town near BuildASoil and have decent rooms. Also the Holiday Inn has been recommended and is located more in the center of Montrose.
We have been suggested to avoid the Days Inn and Black Canyon Motel in Montrose.
Paonia
The North Fork Valley contains the largest concentration of Organic farms in the state of Colorado, and a certified organic Colorado State University Research Station as well. The North Fork Valley is home to the highest elevation viticultural region that is recognized in America.
Lodging options for Saturday night in the North Fork valley include camping and limited lodging at Big B’s Orchard, The Rocky Mountain Inn.
Hotchkiss is 10 miles down-valley from Paonia and is very convenient, the Hotchkiss Inn is decent.
Grand Junction
Downtown and Airport area hotels are decent. Double Tree Hilton by the Airport is proper, downtown the Hampton Inn and Tru by Hilton are suggested as quality locations.
Avoid hotels/motels on North Avenue and Horizon Ave.
