Before you start
Is voting free?
Yes. Voting and the top 10 loved and hated in every city are free forever.
Where do the buildings and photos come from?
From Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons, the free knowledge bases behind Wikipedia. Every photo shows its author and license.
How is the ranking worked out?
Each head-to-head vote updates an Elo score, like chess ratings. Beating a building that's ranked high moves the winner more.
Can people rig it?
We limit votes per person, spot sudden vote bursts and discount them automatically.

Real buildings, real photos, every one credited
Every building in the fight comes from Wikidata, and every photo from Wikimedia Commons, the free knowledge bases behind Wikipedia. We show only freely licensed photos, with the author and license printed under each one, exactly like the John Hancock Tower here.
No editor picks the winners. Your city's crowd does, one tap at a time.
