The 'Seven Wonders of Ukraine' () are the seven historical and cultural monuments of Ukraine, which were chosen in the ''Seven Wonders of Ukraine'' contest held in July, 2007. The voting consisted of two parts: experts in Ukraine voted for their seven best sites, and internet users voted for their seven favorite sites on the official website.
Local and provincial (oblast) authorities composed a list of 1,000 possible candidates. An expert council consisting of 100 people, including culturologists, historians, and tourist specialists, chose a list of 21 candidates from which people on the internet could vote.
Voting on the 21 possible candidates was opened on July 7, 2007.^[1] A total of around 77,000 internet users voted in the campaign.^[2] The voting was closed on August 21, 2007 and the results were officially announced on the same day.^[3] The campaign was initiated in May of 2007 by Mykola Tomenko a Ukrainian politician and the deputy of the Parliament of Ukraine of the fifth convocation.
Three objects from the nomination list needed a special nomination: the Livadia Palace, a monument of modern history; Ostroh, a spiritual monument; and the Pysanka Museum in Kolomyia, a monument of modern Ukraine.
Each manager of a winning nomination was awarded a statue of their candidate made out of green marble, matte steel, and gold-mirror acrylic paint.^[4]
