In spring 2011, the Riksbank announced a competition to design Sweden’s new banknotes. The competition was concluded in April 2012. After the competition jury had assessed all of the entries, the General Council of the Riksbank chose Göran Österlund’s “Kulturresan” (Cultural Journey) as the winning entry. It will therefore form the artistic basis for the new banknotes.
