FAQ’s
A “wonder” may either be manmade, nature made, or a combination of the two. Various seven wonder campaigns may be a list of just manmade, a list from just nature, or a collection of both. Different factors come into play determining whether a list is one or the other.
A natural wonder is strictly the characteristic or result of nature. There can be no influence from mankind. Mount Rushmore is a spectacular mountain, however what makes this mountain incredible comes from the sculpting influence of man on the face of the mountain. Mount Rushmore would qualify as a manmade wonder but not a natural wonder.
The first and most important factor is statistical significance. Is it the largest, fastest, tallest, etc.? People easily argue that Niagara Falls or Iguassu Falls are more spectacular than Victoria Falls, but Victoria Falls is the largest waterfall in the world based on length, width and height.
Uniqueness is another leading factor. Where else does this wonder potential show up in the world? What makes this particular wonder candidate unique or special compared to other similar candidates.
Traditional significance is a second factor that is considered when contemplating wonder status. This can come from history, culture, or other external factors.
Finally, voters look at pure splendor, amazement, astonishment, bewilderment, or as we like to say pure “wonder.”
When all of these factors are considered, Seven Wonders feels confident that winning wonders have appropriately earned the status and recognition.
