This month's Axios Chicago tournament is about the best-looking houses of worship in the Chicago area.
Between the lines: We're not talking faith. We're talking architecture.
Why it matters: Chicago’s neighborhoods are dotted with spectacular churches, synagogues, temples and other houses of worship — giving us plenty of architectural gems to choose from.
How it works: We’ve narrowed the field to 16 standouts. Each day, you'll vote on head-to-head matchups, and we'll crown a winner Friday!
Note: We're focusing on exteriors, not interiors.
State of play: First-round voting is ready to go. We'll keep the polls open until 4pm Monday.
