contents The complement of the union of a collection of disjoint open disks in the $2$-sphere is called a Schottky set. We prove that a subset $S$ of the $2$-sphere is quasiconformally equivalent to a Schottky set if and only if every pair of complementary components of $S$ can be mapped to a pair of open disks with a uniformly quasiconformal homeomorphism of the sphere. Our theorem applies to Sierpiński carpets and gaskets, yielding for the first time a general quasiconformal uniformization result for gaskets. Moreover, it contains Bonk's uniformization result for carpets as a special case and does not rely on the condition of uniform relative separation that is used in relevant works.
