One new idea for every day in 2011. We're talking big, small, local, international, in action and on the drawing board. Here's today's -- what's yours?

Make your Franklin is a community (and worldwide) art project that encourages recreations of the $100 banknote.

The creators write that the bill is a symbol of modern society, and a perfect launching pad for cultural reflection and re-imagination.

So what do you see in $100?

Learn how to participate after the jump ..
.

The rules are simple: Design a $100 bill with like dimensions (2.61-by-6.14 inches).

Submissions can be digitally designed or illustrated, and can be realistic or abstract, and scaned images (at 300dpi) can be submitted here.

See more re-creations on the Make Your Franklin website.
