The Swiss National Bank is calling for graphic artists to come up with ideas for the next series of bank notes.
The theme it’s looking for is mountains.
The bank says the new notes will reflect the unique topography of the country.
Graphic designers working in the country can apply from today. Twelve will then be selected for a competition which will start in February.
The initial mock-ups will be published at the end of next year.
