AdWars The Ultimate Advertising Trivia Contest

DJs Dugout 114th & Dodge with food service available | 6 - 8 PM The AdWars team competition tests your knowledge of advertising practices, terminology and trivia.

It’s a brutal display of seemingly useless terms and acronyms. It’s a grueling and treacherous evening of famous jingles and taglines. It’s always fun!

Teams of 6 to 10 people $150 per team Cash bar and food service on your own will be available. Register soon! Team space is limited - space for teams will be first come first serve.
