DC MAGAZINE / DOLLAR REDE$IGN PROJECT / In Collaboration
Competition Closes August 3, 2009
Our global economy is in meltdown. Perhaps the answer is sitting on our doorstep? The US Dollar symbolizes everything that it means to be successful, prosperous, powerful and financially stable. Yet the world’s finances are heading down the drain and the once mighty US Dollar is the heavy weight in front. But maybe there is hope on the horizon? Maybe a way to solve our financial crisis is to simply rebrand the Dollar?
This is where you come in.
You have a front row view of the ultimate seat of power. The crumbling of the Fed? Your cocktail chatter. Who better than to re-imagine the design, let alone the meaning, of currency than someone who lives, sleeps and breaths inside the Beltway? If you are currently living in the greater Washington DC area, we want you to send in your redesign of the US Dollar now!
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The ‘Prize’: We’ll run the top five picks – to be selected by the Dollar ReDe$ign Project curatorial board – in the September/October ‘Style and Design ’09’ issue of DC Magazine. All submissions will be posted online at http://www.DollarReDesign.com
