Submission Disclaimer

Responses should be provided in writing only. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) will not accept the submission of images. Responses will be read by RBA staff and in certain cases, an imagery selection panel, and assessed against selection criteria. Please note that it is possible that the chosen theme is one which reflects a common idea put forward by many respondents or is one which reflects a combination of multiple ideas. Consequently, the RBA will not be able to provide any public acknowledgement or credit any respondents for the chosen theme. Similarly, respondents will not be notified should their nominated theme be chosen for, or contribute to, the new banknote design.
