COAF Staff
Colorado Anime Fest can’t exist without its dedicated staff. They all work tirelessly at the convention and some of them work throughout the year to put on the best show possible.
The Bullock Award
Ben Bullock, 1978–2017
Every year, COAF’s senior staff chooses one staff member to receive our top honor in recognition of their extraordinary contributions.
We renamed this award in 2017 to the Bullock Award in honor of our friend and founding staff member Ben Bullock, who passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. Ben was also the convention’s DJ, and many of our staffers considered him a good friend.
