The ITF CARTA Awards first came into effect 8 years ago in 2011, when they were platformed under their original name of the PECTO Awards. The name was changed to the CARTA Awards by the original founders who then approached the International Tarot Foundation (ITF) offering them the opportunity to take over the awards and platform PECTO’s final year in 2016.
The ITF is committed to platforming awards that truly celebrate the cartomancy community, its creators, authors and artists who along with the suppliers make it possible for us to enjoy their wonderfully creative and truly stunning works.
The CARTA Awards of 2019 will be open to new Decks and books in the categories listed below that were published within 1st January 2018 and December 31st 2018.
Something new for this awards will be ITF Members awards so if you are a member of the International Tarot Foundation, you will have a member only catagory also.
Closing Carta Award Registrations on 15/12/18.
