PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE BLOCK OF TEXT BEFORE FILLING OUT THE FORM:

Thank you for your interest in Colorado Anime Fest! We are looking for exhibitors selling officially-licensed merchandise who will provide a fun and happy shopping experience for our convention members. If that's you, we'd love to see you at COAF 2026!

All Vendors and artists are required to adhere to Colorado Anime Fest general rules, found here: https://coanimefest.com/policies/general-rules.

Due to limited space, we recommend applicants offering hand-made goods also apply to our Artists' Alley.

Booth Pricing (Does not include taxes or fees):
One (1) in-line booth 10 x 8: $600
One (1) corner booth 10 x 8: $800

One (1) premium booth 10x10: $1000

The first booth rented includes two (2) badges and each additional booth includes one (1) badge. Additional costs may apply for electricity, internet, extra badges and special requests. The sale of Japanese snacks in Exhibitor Hall requires a $100 food buyout be paid. Please see the contract for more information.

Please note: COAF has a strict, zero-tolerance policy regarding bootlegs. Vendors found to be selling unauthorized merchandise will be promptly removed from the convention.

INSTRUCTIONS: Take a moment to read through all items on this form before initiating the process of filling it out. It's a good idea to copy your responses into a document so they don't get lost in the middle of filling out this form, just in case. This is merely an application—we'll evaluate all of the candidates and make a final, juried decision on exhibitors.

Vendor Hall is juried and room gives preference to previous vendors.

Colorado Anime Fest requires a Colorado sales tax number. For those businesses outside of Colorado, you must apply for a temporary sales tax number with the city of Denver. https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/sites/default/files/DR0589.pdf

Do you represent an organization whose a primary function is promoting a convention/event/business/anything besides selling merchandise? Please contact our Industry team: industry@coanimefest.com. Applicants will be notified by August 1, 2025 if they are accepted or waitlisted. Please do not contact us earlier, we receive hundreds of applications and the process takes a long time. You can view your application status and edit your application through Eventeny. Please only contact us if you have a problem or conflict.

This application is for artists and creators to sell things they have created themselves. If you are looking for a vendor booth to sell things you did not create, please fill out the vendor application. If you are looking for a table to promote another convention, event or non-profit organization, please contact communications@coanimefest.com

Colorado Anime Fest's Artist Alley participants are selected by a juried process. Candidates will be evaluated based on the quality of artistry or craftsmanship, uniqueness and novelty of the product, and potential appeal to Colorado Anime Fest attendees. We try hard to prevent too much overlap in product types and styles among artists chosen. Some preference is given to Colorado-based artists, but we welcome artists from all over the country and try to have a balance of the two. A waiting list will be kept to fill spots that open up after initial selection. Additional applications will not be added to the waiting list after the application period has ended.

Any questions or concerns about this process may be directed to artistsalley@coanimefest.com 

Applicants will be notified around August 1st 2026 if they are accepted or wait-listed. Please do not contact us earlier, we receive hundreds of applications and the process takes a long time. You can view your application status and edit your application through Eventeny. Please only contact us if you have a problem or conflict. Thank you for your understanding.
