WILMINGTON — Voting for the Coolest Thing Made in Delaware competition, hosted by the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce (DSCC) and its affiliate, the Delaware Manufacturing Association (DMA), is now open.

The contest serves to highlight Delaware’s vibrant and diverse manufacturing industry — which employs more than 29,000 Delawareans — and promote the sector as a top career path.
