A friend told me I should join the Coalition of Visionary Resources, because I make tarot decks and write related books, and it is an organization for publishers of such things.
I finally did, and entered Telos Tarot of 777 in their annual competition this year, called the COVR Visionary Awards. The 2025 COVR Visionary Awards are for books, audio visual stuff, and products like tarot and oracle decks that were published in 2024.
Yes, I entered it myself, as that is the way it works. The prize is just recognition, but it helps to get your work noticed I guess.
The COVR association seems very geared to major publishers though, as it looks like most of the other entries are pretty much by big publishers. I was hoping to enter something like a juried event, but it is decided by voting.
The public can vote, and members can vote. Member voting is done by a separate link and is weighted to count more.
They recommend that members post stuff about their entries to COVR’s social media accounts, with hashtags #covrvisionaryawards #2025covrvisionaryawards #covr #CVAs etc to get the attention of members and their heavier weighted votes.
But those of you that have been around know that I’m not on any social media, so I don’t have high hopes of getting any traction. But you never know if you don’t try. So I am asking you to vote for it, if you look at the tarot entries and decide it is deserving in the tarot category.
The Telos Tarot of 777 deck was created using astrological alignments and the descriptions from the text 777. You can learn more here and at the Telos site Telos Tarot of 777.
For example, the Four of Wands shown above was created during this astrological decan, Aries III, a ten day period from around April 9th thru April 19th. The description in 777 reads A restless man in scarlet robes, with golden bracelets on his hands and arms.
It is a the third decan of Aries, a card that combines the sign Aries, the Emperor, with the planet Venus, the Empress, ruler of the Aries III decan.
It is my creative act of Love and Will that took around four years to bring to Completion through a process of hand drawing, inking, and painting every card during corresponding astrological alignments. All art was done by hand in traditional art media without AI or digital tools.
Check out this year’s entries in their downloadable pdf. Every entry has a link showing each of the works entered.
The tarot deck entries start on Page 17, if you just want to skip to those.
Telos is halfway down page 18. Here is a link to where you can view the pdf to see the entries:

If you happen to be a COVR member they send you a link for member voting. Member links can only be used once. Everyone else votes via the public link, and there is only supposed to be one vote per person via the public link.
Once you know who you want to vote for in each category, the link for public voting is here:
The Prince of Disks has Aries decan III as the hidden side of his nature. He is more commonly known for his Taurus I and Taurus II decans.
Voting begins April 10th (Aries decan III, Completion) and goes through Taurus I and Taurus II. Voting ends April 30th (the last day of Taurus decan II, Success).
Please check out the entries for the COVR Visionary Awards at the link, and consider voting for Telos Tarot of 777 in the Tarot decks category if you think it merits it. Here is the link again for viewing:
