The Swiss National Bank is publishing twelve designs for the new banknote series and is launching a survey in which these can be evaluated by the public. The survey runs from 13 August 2025 until 7 September 2025 and is being conducted by an opinion polling company. The designs and the survey are available at www.newbanknoteseries.ch.

The SNB thanks all the designers who submitted designs and interpreted the theme of the new banknote series, 'Switzerland and its altitudes', in such diverse and artistic ways.

In the first phase of the competition, the designs will be evaluated by the public and by an advisory board of external experts. The six best designs will progress to the second phase of the competition, which will focus on potential cooperation and commercial aspects. The SNB will choose the winner of the design competition and announce its decision at the beginning of 2026.

Further information about the new banknote series project is available on the SNB website.
