Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce and BMO are running the 11th annual Coolest Thing Made in Wisconsin contest, which has reached its final eight products.
The contest began with 108 total nominees from across the state. Thousands of votes were cast to determine which products would go head-to-head in the Manufacturing Madness bracket.
That field was cut to a 16-product bracket, and after head-to-head voting in the first round, eight products remain. The remaining nominees were initially seeded from No. 1 to No. 16.
Voting to decide the final four ran from 8 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 8, through Tuesday, Oct. 13, at 5 p.m., with voters encouraged to vote once per day on the Made in Wisconsin website. The final four were to be announced on Wednesday, Oct. 14.
This year's winner will be announced on Tuesday, Oct. 27, at WMC's Business Day event.
