From the desk of Fons Schiedon

Cut&Paste is a tournament that puts designers on a stage with a Wacom to design in front of a live audience. Now, if you think this sounds like a devastatingly unstimulating activity, behold how this event has the ability to boost the audience’s enthusiasm by throwing sponsored beer into the mix:

It’s an ego trip that would almost make you forget about the actual challenge involved: on a pretty tight deadline (15 or 20 minutes depending on the category) participants are asked to create a 2d image, 3d thing or motion piece. That’s no cookie! Finalists will go on to compete at the global championship in New York with prizes including 3d software and hardware from Apple and Wacom.

I’ll be one of the judges at the Amsterdam edition in April (in a jury alongside Ewoudt Boonstra (KesselsKramer), Dylan Griffith (MTV Networks), Rob Huisman (Director BNO), Jochem Leegstra (Staat,) Tim Phillips (Glassworks) and Andrew Watson (Amsterdam Worldwide) among others).
And since it is my belief that nobody is a loser, just imagine what this means to the chances of winning!
I don’t know either!

Call for participants here
