Artists Application
About the application
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE TEXT BEFORE FILLING OUT THE FORM
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.
