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.

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".

Instead of exposing myself to the madness of going to the Expo 25 thing while staying in Osaka, I did the much more relaxed, cheaper and probably more interesting alternative and visited the Expo 70 memorial park. I praised the sun and marvelled at the miniatures. Recommended for everyone liking retrofuture and the time where we still believed technology is here to save the day.

Instead, we're increasingly treated to small-screen, single-app paradigms copied from smartphones."
