The shortlisted designs are suggestive in nature and are being shared with international designers who
have been shortlisted to work with SBP and finalize designs for the new banknote series. The
International designers, while drawing inspiration from the local art submissions, will, however, be free
to employ their own design expertise and imagination to create final designs for the new banknotes
series.

The SBP will ensure that the new banknote series reflects the rich cultural heritage and progressive
vision of our nation, and hopes the final designs fully reflects this collaborative effort. Winners will be
awarded prize money, as per earlier announcement, to appreciate their contribution to this important
national project. Further details regarding the award ceremony will be communicated shortly.
