The Coolest Thing Made in Wisconsin contest is open for nominations through Sept. 8. Any product that is manufactured in Wisconsin qualifies for the contest, and nominations are being accepted at madeinwis.com.

Following the nomination period, a popular vote will determine the top 16 products, which will be placed in a bracket-style tournament called Manufacturing Madness. Last year, Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding of Sturgeon Bay reached the Final 8 of this contest with its Great Lakes freighter the Mark W. Barker.
