👉Eternity Grow Cup Judging Criteria👈
Your grow will be judged across 8 different categories using a Judge Score Card. Ten judges will each evaluate your grow with a score card. Your total score is the sum of all 10 Judge Score Cards combined. The maximum possible score is 1,000 points.
The grower with the highest total score wins the Eternity Grow Cup 2026. The second-highest score wins second place, and so on
👉What happens in case of a tie?👈
If there’s a tie within the top 3 positions or between 10th and 11th place, the grow with the highest score in the “Overall Bud Appearance” category takes the lead. If it’s still a tie, the next deciding factor will be the “Trichome Density” score, followed by “Plant Development.”
👉De Judge Score Card👈
1. Plant development (start to finish) -- … / 15
2. Bud photo quality -- … / 10
3. Bud size -- … / 10
4. Trichome density -- … / 10
5. Overall bud appearance -- … / 30
6. Minimum 1 weekly update (text) -- … / 10
7. Minimum 1 weekly update (photo) -- … / 10
8. Smiley Harvest -- … / 15
All 10 judges will evaluate your diary, plant, and final results at their own discretion using this score card. Judging is based on your Grow Diary and photo material.
Check growdiaries.com/ for more information about the “Smiley Harvest” category.
👉Additional Information👈

- The organization of the Eternity Grow Cup reserves the right to disqualify participants.
- Only the total scores of the Top 10 will be shared with all participants. Individual jury cards will not be shared.

Good luck, and may the best bud win.

@Plagron, Yall really took the feedback from last year and listened, which feels kinda trippy to see in real time. Kudos to yall.
So, explicitly, for 2026 this is a competition based on scoring with the above rubric and relies on GrowDiaries content? In other words, given two identical diaries...is there a preference for one that is daily @ing you on Instagram or whatever?

I’ve decided to skip the contest this year. Honestly, if last year’s competition had been judged fairly based on the scorecards, I’m confident I would have won. But after seeing how the judging was handled especially with last year’s “suitcase grower” situation I’ve lost faith in the process. It’s frustrating to see results being based on questionable criteria rather than actual performance. So, I’m officially done participating for now.

@Fatnastyz, Dude the competition was rigged last year and everyone knows it.. I agree nobody should be mad at colleague growers but that's it. I can definitely understand the frustration..

@00110001001001111O, Do you have any ideas on how we can make it as fair as possible?
It is impossible for 10 judges to assess all the buds in real life, as the participants come from a large number of different countries.
We can only judge based on the diary and accompanying photos. Unless you have some great ideas that we haven't thought of yet.

@Plagron, it's all aribitrary anyway - it's a beauty/popularity contest, Just be consistent. If you are consistent, you can ignore the bitching, lol. My comment was more of a generalized dstatement. I don't even remember specifically what the problem was last time.
As far as assessing it all .. maybe you can make the job a bit easier by the judges by doing some common sense filtering of entries. Again, consistency is key and probably want to be on the forgiving side so the judges get a healthy sample to select from. You could do a running list of 'top' entries and if you keep it up incrementally, it's not a lot of work in any 1 sitting. Every week or 2 update your 'top' list... (may need to fiddle with exact procedure, but over time it'd work well). It'd help if you can filter by new entries on your end... common sense function of anythinkg with a dB backend, but may not exist 'here', lol.
most of my criticism above is directed at the peanut gallery. the 'frosty bud' comment was about the uktah contest. probably too strict with the 'shouldn't be allowed in' but defnitely shouldn't win and would be a good example of common sense filtering.
If it's too much work for the judges to do properly, lessen the load. Can always give them an option to peruse all of the participants, if they so choose, but a pared down list would probably be preferred.
Make some standards... maybe don't publicize it until you really hammer out the best way to filter or assess.. see how it goes 'quietly' under the table, then when you've tweaked the standards to your liking publish it with any contests info in future.

@Plagron, Hi I'm unable to join this year as I don't think I have the space, but have seen your comments about judging the contest. If its judged on finished harvested buds then may I suggest the growers pick the three best buds from the plant and take pictures of these buds, taking about 3 pictures of each bud from different sides of the bud. That way the judges should have 9 pictures of buds per diary to choose from. I feel sorry for the judges as the quality of work people are putting in is getting really competitive.

@Plagron, still not working for me. It takes me to the pre registration page via IG, then after that it takes me here. But there is no other link or registration that I see.
edit: 5 hours later, was able to do it from my computer. was perhaps an issue just for my phone.

@Green_claws, We sincerely want to organize the fairest possible cup. We have no interest in who wins. Fair play is the only way to develop the Eternity Grow Cup into the biggest cup.
You can filter by the “oldest comment.” That contains the judge score card. That way you can see how diaries are judged. What do you think?

@yNo77, Hey,
Zamnesia has to manually check each application to see if it meets the conditions. This takes a little time.
We want to give the free packages to those who are actually active on growdiaries and want to compete for the prizes.
You will then receive an email telling you when you can link your diary to the cup.
