Future Of Money Design Awards

ESTABLISHED 2009

The Future of Money Award was founded in 2009.  Created to develop links between the financial industry and creative practitioners from around the world.  Over the past 15 years, FOM and the talented designers and artists that participated in the awards have challenged, questioned and proposed new approaches to money and payments.  The history of those themes and design proposals can be found in the archive.  

The awards continue to enable creative thinkers the opportunity to present thought-provoking ideas and challenging monetary concepts to financial experts and industry leaders.

The 2026 awards were sponsored by 15mb Limited and hosted at the Pay 360 conference at Excel London.

Arguably there has been no greater time of financial uncertainty than today and no greater need for fresh ideas and imaginative insights which help inform, suggest and question our current technological, social and cultural direction.
