Nominations will be taken now through Friday, March 6, at 11:59 p.m. Nominations can be submitted directly here under the ‘Submit Product’ tab.

Following the nomination period, the competition moves into bracket play, where voters decide each matchup and the field narrows round by round until one product rises to the top.

Voting starts March 10. During the Popular Vote, supporters can vote up to 5 times daily, with 1 vote per day allowed in each subsequent round.

Products must be made in Alabama using a manufacturing process. There is no limit to the number of products a person can nominate, but only one product per company can make it to the Top 16.
