DSEG is a family of free (and open-source) fonts of 7- and 14- segment displays. These allow for designing gorgeous digital displays!

DESG FONT FAMILY - demo image showing a fictional liquid crystal display showing off the fonts in the family.

DSEG7 series and DSEG14 series. Both series come with Classic and Modern versions as well as regular, light, bold and oblique variants (with combinations like bold oblique or light oblique as well).

The font family also has a font for showing weather forecasts (!) and an egg-shaped tamagotchi-esque creature that can be used to display digits 0-9 as well as `=` `:` and `,` characters. — DESG FONT FAMILY - demo image showing a fictional liquid crystal display showing off the fonts in the family.

There is a section to the terms which says "Award criteria" and I guess that means you can only take part if you meet that criteria, which is "Education and relevant work experience (40%) and Proven track-record of
creative work (60%)"

There is also a round of "public feedback" but not before it's been reviewed by a 20-strong jury of designers and professors from across Europe.

It feels a little belittling to call it a "design contest".

Designing six banknotes across two themes (so, twelve) is a big job.

Especially when you have to jump through so many rounds of tenders and presumably make artwork ready for production or make rounds of amends based on feedback.

If you "win" and make it to the end you get 25,000 EUR (just shy of 300,000 NOK) and - I'm not in the graphic design industry anymore - but that doesn't feel like a lot for such a high profile job with a lot of work involved.

But maybe it is? Idk.

Just saw this "design contest" for the Euro banknotes. It's not a consumer contest - this is a tender for professionals.

They have specific themes and motifs requirements and each design proposal must comprise of six banknotes (€5, €10, €20, €50, €100, €200). There is no money in applying.

If you are invited to Phase 2, you get EUR 5,000. If you are selected for Phase 2, you get EUR 10,000 extra. If you win, you get EUR 10,000 extra.
