It will run from 23 June to 29 September 2021 at 23h59, (UTC+2), CEST: Central European Summer Time.

Imagine the Future, Create your Currency

You’re invited to imagine a new currency with a positive impact on society. Such imagined currency will allow you to integrate images, decorations, associated values, and a name. It’s up to you to choose all the elements that will define your own banknote or coin and the story you want to tell us – whether tackling a current issue or a symbolic message!

Pick and Place

To participate, you can make your own design from scratch or use our online interface. All you have to do is head to the photo contest website, choose one of the proposed “banknote” or “coin” templates, upload your image, and fill in the various fields to design your new currency. There are no limits to your imagination. However, keep in mind that the currency design should illustrate a human and solidarity dimension to appropriate this medium of interaction and symbolic exchange!
