The Darth Vader Helmet Art contest was held in the spirit of the Vader Project created by DKE Toys. Each of the 24 artists would be given creative freedom to interpret the Darth Vader helmets as he or she saw fit. Many artists had applied to enter the contest and only 24 were chosen to partake in the contest. The helmets were examined by an internal panel of judges and the winners were recently announced!
