The new €20 banknote will be unveiled by Mario Draghi, President of the European Central Bank (ECB), at its new headquarters on 24 February 2015. To raise awareness of four of the security features of the new banknote, in particular the novel “portrait window”, the ECB is launching an online game called “Tetris® new €20”.

The competition will close at 11.59 p.m. CET on 31 March 2015. It can be accessed at http://game-20.new-euro-banknotes.eu/.
