Manufacturing Matters-Student Video Contest

(Video • Art • Essay • Creative Media)

The Central Minnesota Manufacturers Association (CMMA) is launching a regional student contest designed to spotlight the future of manufacturing through student creativity and perspective.

Students across Central Minnesota will be invited to submit short videos, original artwork, written essays, or other creative formats that reflect their understanding of modern manufacturing careers, innovation, and the opportunities available right here in our region.

This contest gives students a platform to share their voice, explore career pathways, and help reshape perceptions of manufacturing as a high-tech, rewarding, and essential industry.

Winning submissions will be featured by CMMA and recognized during Manufacturing Month 2026, with scholarships awarded immediately following the celebration.

Additional contest guidelines, submission details, timelines, and eligibility requirements will be announced soon.

PROGRAM LAUNCHING IN EARLY 2026
