The 11th annual 2026 Coolest Thing Made in Wisconsin contest has nominations open today.
This is a public voting competition that showcases ingenuity, craftsmanship, and the economic impact of Wisconsin manufacturers.
WMC, the presenting company for the past 10 years, now has a partnership with BMO, which will be this year’s presenting partner.
Any product manufactured in Wisconsin can qualify for a nomination.
After nominations are made, the public will be able to vote for the top 16 products that will then be placed in Manufacturing Madness, a bracket-style tournament.
There will be daily votes to choose the winner, who will be crowned at WMC’s Business Day event in Madison on October 27th.
