It doesn\u2019t matter how big or small your business is; anyone who manufactures anything from food processing, to wood products, to metal fabrication or anything in between is eligible to me nominated. Over one million votes have been cast across the lifetime of the contest and organizers say the bragging rights and trophy that comes along with winning are very cool, but the contest means so much more than that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reason that we do this contest is to showcase the entire manufacturing industry.\u201d Explained Nick Novak, Vice President of Communications &amp; Marketing for the WMC. \u201cWe make a lot of really cool products here in the state of Wisconsin, and we have a lot of really cool people who make those products so we want to tell their stories.
