“Coolest Thing Made in Michigan” Award
From household staples to life-improving machinery, Michigan
manufacturers have produced some amazing things — but only one
can win the annual “Coolest Thing Made in Michigan” People’s
Choice Award. Nominate today at coolestthing.mimfg.org!
How Does It Work?
Once nominations have been collected, online voting will
commence. The first round people’s choice vote will determine the
Top 10 coolest Michigan-made products. During the second round,
voting will determine which of these 10 finalists will be deemed the
“Coolest Thing” in 2020.
The winning product (and its manufacturer) will be announced
this fall. Submit your nomination for “Coolest” product for a chance
to win this coveted Award at coolestthing.mimfg.org.
