The newly repainted one-million gallon Hays water tower next to the Sternberg Museum of Natural History is among the entries in the Tnemec Tank of the Year contest.

Fort Hays State University has completed their project to place a logo on the top of that tower.

The city is looking to get as many votes possible for the tower.

CONTEST DETAILS

Since 2006, Tnemec has celebrated the innovative and creative uses of its coatings on water tanks with the annual Tank of the Year contest. Each year, tanks of all varieties from across the nation and Canada have been narrowed down to determine one true Tank of the Year.

Voting will be open from Oct. 5 - Oct. 16.

Once all votes are in, the top tank during the voting process and 11 runners-up will be judged by an internal panel of water tank enthusiasts to determine the winner. The Tank of the Year will be announced Oct. 23.

The winner and 11 runners-up will be featured in Tnemec's annual water tank calendar. The tank with the most votes during the polling period will be awarded as honorary People's Choice.
