The Coolest Thing Made in Wisconsin contest is a program that was launched by Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce (WMC) and Johnson Financial Group in 2016 to not only determine the Coolest Thing produced within the state’s borders, but also to bring attention to Wisconsin’s top industry: Manufacturing.

The contest has proven to be very popular. This year alone, nearly 150 products were nominated and over 150,000 votes were cast in total.

Adding to the fun in 2017—the second year of the contest—was the addition of Manufacturing Madness, a bracket-style tournament that put the top 16 Coolest Things Made in Wisconsin in direct competition with each other.

Companies pulled out all the stops to get votes, from media interviews and prize giveaways to endorsements from local elected officials and rampant social media campaigns. All the nominees are listed throughout the next couple pages. For more information, visit MadeInWis.com.
