Kurple Magazine and Southwest CannEvents are excited to be announcing the Second Annual Essie Awards 2018: New Mexico’s Cannabis Awards. Join us in bringing the community together to recognize what has been achieved in the cannabis industry during the 2018 year. This year’s awards will be held on December 2, 2018 at the beautiful National Hispanic Cultural Center.

The Essie Awards established in 2017 by Kurple Magazine. The awards were built as a commemorative way to celebrate those that provide excellence in New Mexico’s Cannabis industry. The Essie Awards have been named in honor of Essie DeBonet, New Mexico’s first enrolled medical cannabis patient, and celebrating the unsung heroes and defenders of compassionate care in New Mexico.

Nominations for the People’s Choice categories have ended. Stay tuned to vote for the best in New Mexico’s Cannabis Industry! Voting begins the first week of October.
