Who we are?

The TABI CARTA awards is an annual awards ceremony which is open to Tarot/Oracle authors, creators, their publishers, or anyone else who has a legal right, permission or is in other way authorized to submit an original piece of work. These awards celebrate excellence and creativity within the tarot community, recognizing outstanding contributions from authors, artists, and innovators in the field. 

How to submit?

The entrant can submit under each of the below categories for Tarot and Oracle related decks and books that have been created in the previous year: 

Best Tarot Deck
Best Oracle Deck
Best Self Published Deck
Aspiring Debut Artist
Aspiring Debut Author
Outstanding Artistic Achievement
Best Book Independent of a Deck
Best Guidebook accompanying a deck

What happens with the votes?
 
For all of the above categories there will be a public vote which will be accessible via the CARTA page on the TABI website. There will be a second vote from the TABI members for the best Tarot deck (accessible via the TABI forum) and also a Judge’s Choice award that goes to the winner and the two runners up with the highest marks from the judges’ assessments.
