Overview:
Born in New York in 2005, Cut & Paste is the most exhilarating digital design competition in town. Designers are pitted together in 15-minute rounds, designing to a set theme and competing with each other live, as projectors cast their living designs across a crowded venue. Cut & Paste is like a club night with truly live visuals.
Anonymous designers are too many.Cut & Paste draws out the artists, audiences, clients, recruiters and consumers of good design, puts them all under one roof and makes for an unforgettable night.
Cut & Paste first came to London in October 2007 at the Truman Brewery and was won by Tom Judd, a graphic illustrator and MA animation student at the time. In Spring 2009 it will come to London again as part of its global tour and will cover motion graphics and animation as well as graphic design. The official call for contestants will be made later in the autumn, but get a sneak preview here.
D3 and London Design Festival, with Cut & Paste and European Production partners Germination invite you to TRY YOUR HAND in the audience design challenge. Try your own 15-minute round on workstations set up with Adobe CS3 and Wacom tablets on the theme of ‘Rite of Passage’. The perfect prep if you’re thinking of the tournament.
We’ll also be showing films of last year’s events, just so you get the picture.
All designs will go up onto Cut & Paste’s online Gallery.www.cutandpaste.com
The Rules, the Rules:
All work must be completed in 15 minutes.
Competitors may apply the theme, “Rite of Passage.”
Competitors may bring in approved objects to capture with a digital camera and incorporate in their work.
No finished artwork, photographs, pre-made digital elements – all work must be constructed from scratch.
Tools including digital cameras or the Wacom Cintiq are for the designers’ benefit but not required to be used during competition. We do not supply digital cameras so you need to bring your own.

Absolutely anyone can come try their hand, but in particular newly established and emerging designers including multimedia and interactive design students, graduates, freelancers and those in the industry looking to develop their digital media careers.
What Should You Bring:
Yourselves, your friends and your ideas.
