Two Georgia cities are in the running to be voted "Best Town Ever."

Outsideonline.com will place the crown on a town's head in June, based on which town gets the most votes.

The two Georgia towns that made it to the second round of voting are Athens and Savannah.

Athens — probably best known as the home of the University of Georgia — is competing against Oxford, Mississippi, in round 2. As of Tuesday afternoon, Athens was leading Oxford 4,999 to 2,509.

Savannah is facing off against Boone, North Carolina. Savannah was trailing Boone as of Tuesday afternoon, 5,388 to 4,890.

Outside picked the cities based on access to trails and public lands, restaurants and neighborhoods, and a number of other criteria — including a good beer scene.

The contest is set up bracket-style, with the winning city of each round advancing. The first five rounds of voting will last five days each.

You can vote once each round per matchup. The winner will be the town with the most votes as on June 5.

Round two ends Wednesday, May 13, at 11:59. Click here to vote.
