New 7 wonders

The vote is on, and we all can be a part of it. The new 7 wonders website offers you the opportunity to participate in the first-ever global vote to elect
the New 7 Wonders of the World. This vote will culminate with a live, worldwide telecast on July 7, 2007 - 07.07.07 to announce the New 7 Wonders of the World.

On January 1, 2006, the New7Wonder Panel of Experts, chaired by the former head of UNESCO, Prof. Dr. Federico Mayor, short-listed those nominations with the most votes received by the end of 2005. The top 77 choices have been narrowed down to just 21 finalists, which are the focus for the final year of voting.

The 21 finalists are: Acropolis, Athens, Greece; Alhambra, Granada, Spain; Angkor, Cambodja; Chichen Itza, Yucatan, Mexico; Christ Redeemer, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Colosseum, Rome, Italy; Easter Island Statues, Chile; Eiffel Tower, Paris, France; Great Wall, China; Hagia Sophia, Istambul, Turkey; Kyomizu Temple, Kyoto, Japan; Kremlin, Moscow, Russia; Machu Picchu, Peru; Neuschwanstein Castle, Fussen, Germany; Petra, Jordan; Pyramids of Giza, Egypt; Statue of Liberty, New York, USA; Stonehenge, Amesbury, United Kingdom; Sydney Opera House, Australia; Taj Mahal, Agra, India; and Timbuktu, Mali.

More important, half of all net revenues raised by the New7Wonders campaign will be put towards restoration efforts worldwide.

So, take a look at the nominees and tell us in which wonder would you cast your vote. We would really love to know!
