Call for Entries

Celebrate in Awe and Wonder

Creativity is not an exact science and can be hard to define. It has an artistic beauty that holds an element of magic that doesn’t always fit the mould. Not always conforming to the status quo, it takes us by surprise and elevates the ordinary to the extraordinary and turns the memorable into the unforgettable.

Submissions are closed for the PADC Skulls Awards 2024. Good luck and thank you to all who entered.
