New7Wonders: Just four days left to vote
admin July 2nd, 2007
Bernard Weber, the founder of the New7Wonders competition, has written his final New7Wonders World Tour blog post before the competition ends on Friday. He finishes with some general thoughts on the event:
Not only is N7W the first global voting campaign, but also the first time that children can participate in an election. They are our best champions, as well as important guarantors that the voting is objective - because most of them have not developed nationalistic feelings and they vote for what they truly like and admire.
It’s been a fascinating journey and looking back through earlier posts, it seems clear the visit to Petra was one of the highlights.
Queen Rania is truly one of the most beautiful, graceful and elegant personalities that I have had the occasion to meet on the World Tour so far. She represents in person the dignity of the Jordanian people and their ancient culture in a superb way. What a great blend of reality, dream and the aura of a site like Petra - together with the people representing this unique place! The event itself was a spectacular mega-production, a recreation of Nabatean life in the marketplace in front of the Treasury 2,000 years ago, followed by a terrific Roman legion performance and gladiator fight in the ancient amphitheater.
There are only 4 days left to vote for your New7Wonders candidate. And don’t forget, you could win a holiday!
