Two years ago, the first Cut and Paste tournament came to Portland. The man who designed our logo, Kris Kanaly, placed second. Cut and Past returns this Saturday. It is one of the best tech and design shows taking place in the PDX. If you like graphic design, you should really enjoy this event.

CUT&PASTE'S GLOBAL TOUR LANDS IN

PORTLAND ON MARCH 7

WHAT: Cut&Paste Digital Design Tournament 2009

The Portland stop on the Cut&Paste Digital Design Tournament's 2009 global tour will no doubt be fueled by the city's creative and artistic prowess. On March 7, Portland's 2D, 3D and Motion designers will face serious pressure to design with speed, skill, and style as partygoers watch their every move on giant projection screens and cheer them on (if they like what they see). Do these 16 competitors have what it takes to make it to the final showdown at NYC's Global Championship on June 20th? We invite you to join us as designers rack their brains, race the clock, and try not to break a sweat onstage.  Check out Cut&Paste for more info on tour dates, event programming and to purchase tickets.
