The new seven wonders of the world, also known as the seven wonders of the modern world, are seven architectural works that ideally recall the ancient canonical list of the seven wonders of the world (dating back to the 3rd century BC). The site selection competition was organized by a Swiss for-profit company called "New Open World Corporation" (NOWC) and the initiative is not linked to UNESCO. On January 1, 2006, the seven judges announced the 21 "finalist" works. The official choice of the new seven wonders of the world took place in Lisbon on 7 July 2007, chosen due to the recurrence of the number 7 (07/07/07).
