The Cut&Paste Digital Design Tournament kicks-off tomorrow in Boston at the Roxy, Saturday, 8 September, the first stop of an 11 city international tour (click on flyer for detail). You think you got what it takes? Any onsite audience can participate in the timed design competition for a chance to win a Wacom Intuos3 Tablet.
With 11 stops from Boston to Sydney, chances are the tournament will swing through a city near you. If you can't make it to any of the locales not to worry, all of the events will be webcast at Cut&Paste. During the tournament you can also vote in real-time, by text message or the online webcast, for any of the eight contestants in each city who will compete for an Adobe CS3 Master Collection. We're patiently waiting for next weekend, 15 September, when the Cut&Paste Tournament comes through New York.
Tomorrow in Boston doors open at 6pm, the competition is from 7-10pm and after party is from 9:30pm-2am. More info including the full schedule of their world tour here. Also check out last years Cut&Paste tournament on Cool Hunting Video.

The shop, billed as "a download revolution" features both digital products (such as music and fonts) and directions/instructions for building physical items. There are too many great things to call out here but a few favorites include the origami Graphic Grenade by PostlerFerguson; The Rubbish typefaces by Clare Acheson, and the RepRap...
