Okay, so they might not actually use the Cyclorama cage (it’s on standby), but you can still look forward to some bare-knuckle vectoring at Cut & Paste’s Digital Design Tournament tonight.

In case you missed our write-up in January, artists will go head-to-head in 2D, 3D and motion design competitions to win a spot in the company’s global design championship in NYC in a couple months. Plus, expect audience competitions and tunes from Volvox and DJ Die Young.

Info after the jump.

Watch some of New England’s best up-in-coming designers compete in a live digital design tournament. There will be 2D, 3D, and Motion Graphic competitions held this night. As well as an opportunity for the audience to compete in the Audience Design Contest!

This will be an excellent night to obtain professional contacts, as the Boston design scene unites to celebrate the absurdity of contestants quickly designing themes in front of a large enthusiastic audience!
