Cast Your Vote in the 2024 “Coolest Thing Made IN Indiana” Tournament

People love to vote for things online, especially if it's a chance to show some support for local businesses. It's cool to brag about something in your town that has won a contest. Right now Hoosiers are being asked to cast votes in a state-wide tournament being put on by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce - the 4th Annual Coolest Thing Made IN Indiana.

What is the Coolest Thing Made IN Indiana Tournament?

As the name suggests, this tournament is meant to recognize manufacturers in Indiana - companies that literally 'make' stuff. Nominated businesses have been matched up in a bracket-style tournament, with your votes determining who moves on to the next round.
