Bulgaria's capital Sofia is one of the 25 current nominees to become the official host for the declaration of the New Seven Wonders of Nature event in 2011.
The city is competing with locations like Montreal, Las Vegas, Santiago, Dublin, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur, Manila and others, and even more can be nominated, the e-magazine BalkanTravels.com said.
The official host will be chosen based on criteria, announced by the organizers. The host must be the best and most spectacular location to showcase the biggest event in 2011, and a country and city with the political and strategic ambition to be at the center of the world.
Already in its second phase, the New Seven Wonders of Nature campaign was organized by the New7Wonders Foundation. Currently, 250 natural sites from around the world are competing in seven categories. Voting in this phase continues through July 7, 2009, and can be done at new7wonders.com.
Here you can see Bulgaria's Belogradchik Rocks, nominated in one of the categories for the New7Wonders.
