Voting is now open for this year's Makers Madness: The Coolest Thing Made In Illinois, presented by Comcast Business.
The competition is designed to highlight the many different products made in Illinois, including everything from food products and military flashlights to automobiles and components for the aerospace industry. This round of votes will determine the Top 16 products from more than 200 unique products that were nominated from across the state.
Voting will take place at www.makersmadnessil.com through 11:59 PM on Sunday, March 17, 2024. Voters can cast up to five votes per day in this round as the field of products is narrowed.
“The products nominated in this year’s contest demonstrate the breadth and depth of our state’s dynamic and innovative manufacturing industry, which has the power to reshape communities and transform lives,” said Mark Denzler, President and CEO of the Illinois Manufacturers’ Association. “As we celebrate the achievements of manufacturers across Illinois, we must continue to work in partnership with policymakers to ensure the industry can continue to flourish for generations to come.”
“As voters begin to cast their ballots, we wish all of the hardworking nominees good luck as they look to move on to the Top 16,” said Sean McCarthy, Comcast’s Regional Vice President of Business Development and Strategic Initiatives. “Comcast is proud to provide state-of-the-art connectivity and technology to help manufacturers achieve their goals and shape the world around us.”
