So a few years ago I heard about this web design contest – but it wasn’t your normal contest, the ones where they list guidelines for the site They vary for each contest, but it’s usually: a logo is provided, base colors, theme, mission statement, and purpose.

But this one, this one was being held in Los Angeles, and it was being held live, at a popular bar downtown, ages 21 and over only.

It goes through three levels and then the winner is announced. Well, I haven’t been to one of these, but I did remember the name of the company that sponsors the event, Cut & Paste.
