Wicked hard: The most Boston of all Boston people compete to be the voice of Boston airport

The battle to become the new voice of Boston’s Logan International Airport has been whittled down to eight finalists who now face a public vote.

The transport hub selects a resident from Massachusetts to read announcements in the distinctive local dialect and 5,200 entered the contest.

Now it is down to eight, including a public school teacher, a law student and a boxer, with the public facing the wicked hard choice of picking the winner.

Voting begins on October 24 at voiceoflogan.com and the winner will be announced on November 5.
