Vote now to ensure your mountain is chosen to be one of the New7Wonders of Nature!

Vote before 11 November and show your support for Table Mountain, one of 28 contenders, before it’s too late.

Flow created a website for the Vote for Table Mountain campaign, and is proud to help promote and show its continued support for such an exciting endeavour.

Why should you vote? Well, for a start, Table Mountain deserves to become one of the New7Wonders of Nature. It’s majestic, beautiful and has brought joy to millions of visitors over the years. Of all 28 contenders, it is the closest to an airport and therefore the most accessible.

South Africa will benefit hugely from being home to one of the New7Wonders of Nature. Not only would it be great for national pride, but a study by Grant Thornton reveled that this would create 11 000 jobs and boost the economy by around R1.4-billion.

Table Mountain deserves New7Wonders status and South Africa needs the jobs that would be created as a result. Time is running out though, so please start voting straight away.

Says project manager Leanne Pohlmann, “With all the various platforms that have been made available to vote from, there is no excuse not to place your vote today and for the next 30 days to come. Your mountain needs your vote!”

The website, www.votefortablemountain.com, includes a regularly updated blog, a gallery of videos and photographs, an archive of celebrity ambassadors, instructions on how to vote, and a collection of downloads and web applications – everything you need to help boost the ranking of your favourite mountain.

The home page also boasts an interactive virtual tour of Table Mountain and its surrounds, displaying breathtaking views of the coastline and suburbs below.

Says Flow programmer, Dimitri Kouvdis, “It is a privilege to be behind the campaign to promote Table Mountain. It was a fun and exciting project. Don’t forget to cast your vote!”
