Voting begins soon for the “What’s So Cool About Manufacturing?” contest in the Lehigh Valley.
The Manufacturers Resource Center said online public voting for the ninth year of the student video contest will begin March 23 at 12:01 a.m. and will continue through March 25 at 11:59 p.m.
Twenty-eight student teams will work with regional manufacturers to compete for the most votes to win the “Viewers Choice Award.”
The videos will also be reviewed by a panel of judges for awards in ten other categories, including Outstanding Career Pathway, Outstanding Editing and Outstanding Creativity. The Sweet Manufacturing Award will be presented to the winner of the CTE High School Cupcake Competition.
“What’s So Cool About Manufacturing is a yearly ‘tradition’ and our community has come to expect the information about careers and technology the student teams so diligently spotlight in their educational and creative media messages,” said Karen Buck, manager of Workforce Initiatives at the Manufacturers Resource Center. “The online voting process really allows the entire program message to be shared within school districts and in the community.”
Votes can be cast on the website https://www.whatssocool.org/ .
The winner will be announced during this year’s awards event, broadcast live on WFMZ April 5 at 7:00 p.m.
