The European Central Bank (ECB) unveiled the shortlisted design proposals for the next series of euro banknotes and launched a public survey inviting people across Europe to provide their feedback. These design proposals are based on two different themes – “European culture” and “Rivers and birds” – and on the associated motifs chosen to illustrate them.
Everyone in Europe is invited to have their say, following the decision of the ECB’s Governing Council to run an online survey on these ten design proposals. The public survey will remain open until 21 September 2026. A separate survey with the same questions will be conducted in parallel by an independent research company among a representative sample of euro area citizens.
