Core77

The Cut&Paste crew are hitting 2009 hard with their line-up of 2D, 3D, and Motion Design events in sixteen cities worldwide. If you're not familiar with the format, designers battle it out in 20 minute rounds live on stage until there is only one left. This year, the first ever global championship will be held in New York where all 48 winners will converge Olympiad-style.

If you think you've got the skliz and can make it to one the hosting cities, there's still time to sign-up. The deadline for North America is January 14, Europe and Asia/Pacific is February 6th.

Core77 caught the first-ever Industrial Design edition of Cut&Paste at the recent Autodesk University in Las Vegas.
