Cut&Paste was born in New York City back in November 2005.

At the time 850 people came out to witness the first, live digital design tournament.

Elbow to elbow, they packed a bar with designers winding wrists, judges taking their positions, a crowd swelling with drinks, gadgets warming up, and an immense energy that ran through speakers and skin.

Since then, Cut&Paste is finding new faces and homes, making moves to continue its modus operandi.

Cut&Paste is back this Fall 2007 in eleven cities worldwide.

Cut&Paste partnered with Adobe to bring the digital design tournament series to six cities in the US (Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, Portland, San Francisco) and five cities across Europe and Asia (Berlin, Hong Kong, London, Sydney, Tokyo).

The Los Angeles tournament will be held on October 13th. Eight designers will have the opportunity to showcase their talent and compete in three, single elimination rounds.

Their work will be webcast globally and projected in real-time for the live, Cut&Paste audience.

Onsite and offsite viewers may vote online or by SMS to award an Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection Suiteto the winner of our Audience Prize.

An all-star judging panel will decide our C&P Champion, who will receive our Jury Prize, a newly releasedWacom Cintiq interactive display.
