55DSL is the proud global sponsor of Cut&Paste’s 2009 Digital Design Tournament, the event that returns once again next year. Cut&Paste, an innovative design company, is looking for talented designers to represent their city in two fast-paced, single-elimination rounds in 3D and one round for Motion, each with a unique design theme and set time limit. The annual global tournament is set to zip across 16 different cities this year (Hong Kong, Sydney, Shanghai, Tokyo, London, Berlin, Milan, Barcelona, Amsterdam, New York, Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles, Portland, San Francisco and Toronto) , from February through June 2009, and this year for the first time ever, all of the winners (that’s all 48 of them) will be thrown together for the first-ever GLOBAL CHAMPIONSHIP, to be held in New York. You win your city, and you'll be flown to New York to go up against the best from around the world!

Cut&Paste is challenging designers from various backgrounds and nations across the map to dig deep and design their way into the spotlight. The annual Call for Competitors is now open, with two deadlines: January 14 for cities in North America, and February 6 for the Europe and Asia/Pacific regions.
