The first annual Curbed Cup kicks off over the bridge this week. Eight enclaves are vying for the very prestigious faux trophy and bragging rights as the Cape and Islands Best Neighborhood of the Year. We're including towns and villages in our Cape & Islands definition of a neighborhood, rounding up, if you will. That said, we'll have one match-up per day, with polls staying open for 24 hours. Let the eliminations continue!

Yesterday, we headed to the islands for a slightly closer competition than Monday's. Thus far, Ptown and Nantucket are in the running. Today, we're off to Martha's Vineyard and the Lower Cape. In one corner, the Vineyard's Oak Bluffs. In the other corner, the Cape's Wellfleet. So Curbed readers, which architecturally interesting town with notable summer residents do you prefer? Submit your click for the locale you think deserves to move on to the next round, toward 'hood of the year bragging rights and the faux trophy.
