1,200 Designers Submitted Visuals for New Euro Banknotes
The shortlist includes 10 proposals, and euro-area residents can vote until September 21 before the ECB makes a final decision.
- Greek designer Myrsini Vardopoulou is leading one of ten proposals shortlisted by the European Central Bank for new Euro banknotes, with citizens able to vote for their preferred design until September 21.
- The European Central Bank launched the redesign to update security and reflect evolving cultural values after 1,200 designers submitted proposals focused on two themes: European Culture and Birds and Rivers.
- Having spent more than 20 years creating stamps for Hellenic Post, Vardopoulou designed her proposal to prioritize individual contributions over fame, using symbols to create an intellectual space where ideas and culture converge.
- The public now holds the decision, with residents able to vote online until September 21, while existing banknotes will remain in circulation as new designs are added alongside current Cash.
- This redesign reflects Europe's evolving identity for around 358 million people amid potential digital Euro developments, and if selected, Vardopoulou's work could appear across Europe, delivering impact far greater than its size.
