Kazakhstan introduces new 1,000 tenge banknote

The National Bank of Kazakhstan announced it has issued a new 1,000 tenge banknote to the public. The front of the yellow and brown note shows doves and the Kazakh Eli monument in Astana we have seen on other notes in this series. The back of the note shows a mountain landscape and the Ustyurt Plateau.

Could this be the next winner of the IBNS Banknote of the Year contest? Three previous notes (1, 2, 3) in this series have already won the price and they had a very similar design which obviously appeals to the members of the IBNS. I'm still not wild about the design because it's too chaotic for my taste but we'll see next year if Kazakhstan has another winner.
