What Is Custom52

Custom52 is an online design community using playing cards as the canvas. What better way to showcase many artists work together in one collection than a deck of cards? It's compact, convenient and functional as well! And now the artwork is available in a poster format too.

Here’s how it works: All artwork featured on the cards are entered by individual artists. The artwork is voted on and chosen by YOU, the public. Each deck of cards is referred to as a Cycle. It’s FREE to enter a design into the competition cycle. Once enough designs are submitted, the cycle closes and the public vote begins. Only the strong will survive! The chosen design for each playing card will go to print and a deck of the top submissions will be produced for purchase. The top 5 designers will receive a FREE deck of cards!

We are currently accepting design submissions for cycle IV. Cycle I decks are SOLD OUT and Cycle II & III decks are currently available for purchase. Custom 52 playing cards are great for unique gift ideas or to have for your own collection! Spice up your home-game and play poker with style. Love the Custom52 brand? Pick up a t-shirt or decorate your wall with unique artwork posters.
