Minnesota has good form in the competition, which has been running since 2007 and named Moorhead the winner in 2021.
Voting is open between now and 5 p.m. on Oct. 17 for the "people's choice" tank, which will be added to 11 other finalists selected by a "committee of water tank enthusiasts." From those 12, an official "Tank of the Year" is selected.
