KERN & BURN is Tulsa’s annual, fast-paced design competition ignited by Art Directors Club of Tulsa. Designers, copywriters, misfits and creatives of all types will band together to crank out their best work under the tightest deadlines. In order to claim victory, cash money and bragging rights for a year, teams of 2-4 must fight their way through three fiery rounds of audience banter and fierce judgment, using only the design assets provided to them.

Come join the Art Director’s Club of Tulsa for our annual holiday party! This year we roll out 2019 with a bowling throw-down at Sheridan Lanes. More info to come!
