See the 67 nominees for the Coolest Thing Made in Iowa contest

Take a ride on a trolley, play a round of golf in a cart fashioned like a classic street rod, enjoy the outdoors in a camping van or just sit back at home and enjoy a craft beer or a gourmet ice cream sandwich.

Each of these products is nominated for the title of Coolest Thing Made in Iowa. Now it's up to Iowans to determine which of the 67 nominees takes the crown.

The contest, sponsored by the Iowa Association of Business and Industry and MidwestOne Bank, also counts among its contenders noodles, cotton candy, tiki bar boats and explosion-proof electric engines.

The competition moved to the popular round vote on Monday and runs through April 30, when the nominees will be pared down to a “Sweet 16” bracket. To vote, go to coolestthingia.com.

Here's the remaining schedule for the contest:

• May 1 ― Top 16 announced.

• May 2-8 ― First round of voting.

• May 9 ― Top 8 announced.

• May 10-16 ― Second round of voting.

• May 17 ― Top 4 announced.

• May 20-29 ― Final round of voting.

• June 5 ― Winner announced at ABI's Taking Care of Business Conference.

This marks the first year Iowa has offered the contest, joining nearly 20 other states.

The contest gives ABI and MidwestOne the opportunity to spotlight a big component of Iowa’s economy: manufacturing. It accounts for more than 17% of the gross state product and in excess of 14% of Iowa’s employment, at 225,000 workers, and over $38 billion in economic output in 2021, according to the National Association of Manufacturers.
