If you're talking about the -new- seven wonders of the world that they're holding an election for, the winners haven't been declared yet. They will be announced in an official ceremony in Lisbon on (appropriately enough) 07/07/07.

Wikipedia says:
"The Seven Wonders of the World (or the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World) is a widely-known list of seven remarkable constructions of classical antiquity. It was based on guide-books popular among Hellenic sight-seers and only includes works located around the Mediterranean rim. Later lists include those for the Medieval World and the Modern World."
"Modern wonders
The American Society of Civil Engineers compiled another list of wonders of the modern world [10]:
Wonder Date Started Date Finished Locations
- Channel Tunnel December 1, 1987 May 6, 1994 Strait of Dover, England
- CN Tower February 6, 1973 June 26, 1976 Toronto, Ontario, Canada
- Empire State Building January 22, 1930 May 1, 1931 New York, New York, USA
- Golden Gate Bridge January 5, 1933 May 27, 1937 Golden Gate Strait, north of San Francisco, California, USA
- Itaipu Dam January 1970 May 5, 1984 Paraná River, South America
- Delta Works 1953 May 10, 1997 Netherlands, Europe
- Panama Canal January 1, 1880 January 7, 1914 Isthmus of Panama, Central America"
"New Seven Wonders
In 2006 two organizations promoted a "New Seven Wonders" list.
In early 2006 an initiative was started by Swiss organization New Open World Corporation (NOWC) to choose the New Seven Wonders of the World from a selection of 200 existing monuments (ongoing).[15] Twenty-one finalists were announced January 1, 2006.[16] The results will be announced on 7 July 2007.
In November 2006 the American national newspaper USA Today in conjunction with the American television show Good Morning America revealed a list of "New Seven Wonders" as chosen by six judges.[17] The wonders were announced one per day over a week on Good Morning America. An "eighth wonder" was chosen on November 24 from viewer feedback.[18]
Number Wonder Location
1 Potala Palace Lhasa, Tibet
2 Old City of Jerusalem Israel
3 Polar ice caps Polar regions
4 Northwestern Hawaiian Islands National Monument Hawaii, United States
5 Internet N/A
6 Mayan ruins Yucatán Peninsula, Mesoamerica
7 Great Migration of Serengeti and Masai Mara Kenya and Tanzania
8 Grand Canyon (viewer-chosen "eighth wonder") Arizona, United States"
Hope that helps.
