The Kansas Manufacturing Council (KMC) is looking for the 2024 Coolest Thing Made In Kansas. Nominations are open at kansascool.com from now through August 23.
Any product that is made in Kansas qualifies for the competition. There are two categories in this year’s competition: People’s Choice and Coolest Innovation.
The People’s Choice contest begins with product nominations and the popular vote round. The top 16 vote-getters will move on to a bracket-style tournament where they will compete in head-to-head matchups. The ones that receive the most votes in each match-up will advance to the next round, moving one step closer to winning the ultimate prize – being named the People’s Choice – Coolest Thing Made in Kansas.
The Coolest Innovation contest highlights the many ways Kansas manufacturers research and develop new products and work to improve products to address crucial challenges.
Winners of both categories will be announced on October 9.
The annual contest, launched in 2020 by the KMC and Kansas Chamber, highlights innovative goods and items developed and produced in Kansas before they are distributed across the U.S. and around the world.
