There a lot to celebrate here in the Big Sky state, including our strong and growing manufacturing industry.
To showcase this, in 2024, the Montana Chamber held its inaugural contest to find The Coolest Thing Made in Montana.

how it works
Submit the manufactured (something made on a large scale) product, software, or application you think is the coolest thing made in our state, then download and share our social media graphics to help promote your favorite.

rules
- Nominations are open to the public. Individuals are encouraged to submit their favorite product.
- Any item manufactured in Montana is eligible; company headquarters do not have to be located in Montana.
- There are no grouped product categories. Every product competes against all other submissions, regardless of manufacturing sector.
- All eligible, nominated companies will be notified by the Montana Chamber of Commerce.
- For a level playing field, manufacturers with fewer than 50 employees will compete in the ‘Small Business’ category in the final round of voting. All nominees will appear on the same ‘ballot’ but after each round of voting we will announce products moving forward.
