The standings

Sealed until you vote.

Look at the doors first, not at the scoreboard. The moment you pick one, every result on this page opens up — and you find out whether the rest of the world agrees with you.

The ballot

Eight candidates

One vote per person, per month. Vote for a door and the standings unlock — for every candidate at once.

How it works

Three steps
01

Snap it

Find the door. Wait for whoever is in there to leave. Take the photo — landscape if you must, but doors are famously vertical.

02

Submit it

One door per entry, bar name and city included. Yes, someone checks that it is genuinely a toilet door. That is the job.

03

Vote, then look

You get one vote a month, and no scoreboard to lean on until you have used it. Voting runs to the last day of the month; the winner goes up in the Hall of Fame.
