Public vote deadline for animals on Bank of England banknotes
Friday 3rd July, 2026
The Bank of England is holding a public vote to pick UK wildlife species that will appear on the next series of £5, £10, £20 and £50 banknotes, with the consultation closing this summer; the shortlist asks the public to choose animals to represent British natural heritage. This gives Lego a chance to join a national conversation about British wildlife and design—relevant in the UK and Europe—because the vote ties into themes of education, nature, and collectible design that align with Lego’s play-and-learning brand and product storytelling.
Why have we flagged this?
Strong alignment: the vote is a UK conversation about wildlife, design and national heritage that ties neatly into Lego’s play, education and collectible storytelling — Lego could run a campaign (limited-edition animal mini-sets, classroom resources, design challenge) and offer expert commentary on design-for-play or educational value, plus react to announcement results for coverage.
