🎨🎨 Design the future look of the euro! 

The European Central Bank has launched a design contest for the new euro banknotes. 

Open to graphic designers in the EU, submit your proposal for one of two themes: 
🖼🖼️ European culture 
🌍🌍 Rivers and birds 

The designs – reflecting Europe’s shared cultural identity and natural heritage – will shape our currency for years to come! 

🗓🗓️ Share your ideas by 18 August 2025, 12:00 CET 

🔗🔗 More info: https://europa.eu/!cWfmdT

A graphic showing a 20-euro banknote with the design area pixelated. Above the note, bold text reads: “What will the future euro look like?” A curved arrow points to the blurred area. Below the banknote, the message says: “Submit your design.” The European Union flag appears in the bottom right corner. The image is shown in a design software interface.

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu Might take a stab myself, but I'm not a big fan of letting Adobe live rent-free in your head and show their UI as the default. There's no place for proprietary garbage in the government.

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu I'm a designer living in the EU, originally from the US.

I love many things that the EU does (thanks!!! 💞💞). However, having a "design contest" is not a good idea for many reasons.

I know you're likely well-meaning, but
here's the No!Spec site for info:

(You wouldn't have a "diagnose contest" with a bunch of doctors working without pay. You wouldn't have a "dining contest" where people cook food for free for the chance to be a favorite restaurant. Etc.)

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu How about this:
You introduce €1 (Antique / Classical Era) &
€2 banknotes

as well as
reintroduce €500 (modern) bills and consider even issuing €1000 (futuristic) bills amidst #inflation.

In return you can phase-out €1 & €2 coins.
Heck, even choose real locations in the #EU (or allow nations similar to coins to choose local) #bridges, #rivers, #plants and #birds.

Pretty shure #Rhine, #Danube, #Olives, #Eagle and #Owl would make excellent motives.

A hundred euro bill, Photoshopped to be a 1000 euro bill, featuring the one and only Heikki Silvennoinen as the "face of the bill".

A new Euro banknote design?

It should be a picture of the destroyed Gaza. European values in action. Total destruction sponsored, paid, supported, tolerated by European governments.

I slapped hazily "PAY ARTISTS" and "🖕 Christine Lagarde" over a picture of a 20 euro note

A cute neofox appears on an orange 10-Euro banknote. The cat's face is mostly orange with black and cream-colored ears. The number "10" and the word "EURO" are on the left, and a circle of 12 stars, like on the European Union flag, is on the top right. Another "10" is on the bottom right.
