The latest news on Denver Pop Culture Con

Denver Pop Culture Con fans have all their fingers crossed that the 4th of July weekend is far enough away to hold onto some hope. Cosplayers are still sewing, vendors are still creating, and photo op enthusiasts are still thinking up poses. At this time DPCC has said that they are working hard to be able to bring people together to celebrate the popular Denver convention. At this point there are no plans to cancel or postpone.

In trying to support our community during all of this, DPCC is asking us to lift up our real-world heroes. You can help — lift up your favorite community hero by nominating a Best in US Hero today. Who do you know that is tirelessly there for us like our first responders, our doctors and nurses, and so many more.

What is a Best in US Hero?

According to Denver Pop Culture Con:

A Best of US Hero is anyone in the community who makes an extraordinary effort to serve others and inspire learning, inclusion, imagination, community, and opportunity

Nominate a Best in US Hero — and if they are selected as a Best in US Hero — they’ll get four (4) 3-day passes to Denver Pop Culture Con, public recognition at our July opening ceremonies, and more.
