The voting for all contests 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.
The initiative was started by (one of the) deputy chairman of Verkhovna Rada Mykola Tomenko under the motto "Piznai Ukrainu!" (Discover Ukraine). The initiative was a continuation of numerous preceding public actions that took place in various regions of Ukraine such as "Kupala's games at the native land of Gogol" (Poltava Oblast), "Starry autumn in Kachanivka" (Chernihiv Oblast), "Let's discover island Khortytsia" (Zaporizhzhia Oblast), "Maslyana in Bukovina" (Chernivtsi Oblast), "Amber legends of Rivne region", "Day of Europe at the native land of Lesya Ukrainka" (Volyn Oblast), and others.
The next stage of the initiative was the organization of the Seven Natural Wonders of Ukraine in 2008.
