The Ursa Major Awards are an annual feature of furry fandom’s favorite media. Right now anything made in 2024 is eligible, and anyone can choose what deserves recognition.
GO HERE TO NOMINATE NOW. Time runs out at the end of February 28 so DON’T WAIT.
The Recommended Anthropomorphics List is a helpful guide for many options, but you don’t have to only pick from the list. The list is open for anyone to submit during the year, making a great way to discover things you overlooked or submit things you want to get seen.
PLEASE CONSIDER NOMINATING THE PODCAST: FUR AND LOATHING. This investigation into the 2014 attack on Midwest Furfest features reporting by Dogpatch Press, with a production team led by journalist Nicky Woolf. The series was an intense labor of love including a productive FOIA request for FBI documents, and travel to 4 states to interview numerous sources, bringing exclusive answers about the fandom’s biggest cold case crime. Nominate it under “Anthropomorphic Miscellany.” “Miscellany category has insufficient entries to make it worthwhile”; please nominate it under Non-Fiction.

Why not nominate it under ‘Non-Fiction Work’?
true, I didn’t think about that… but I do like it under Miscellany as the only podcast on the list, it is unique and different from the other choices on the nonfiction list. Honestly I wouldn’t think it fair for an intensely produced series to compete with short articles, a category apart seems functionally good to me.
Unfortunately there’s no ‘Miscellany’ category on the nomination page…and they actually state that under the nominations. Despite having put it on the ‘About the UMA’ page. So I’m putting it under ‘non-fiction’.
Also such a shame ‘Hundreds of Beavers’ was left off the recommended motion picture list. Maybe too many people were horrified by the fursuit massacres. XD XD XD
Ooh, that’s on top of my must watch list! You can nominate it even if it didn’t make the recommended list. If you link me a social media post about it, I can boost that as well.
I was going to write one myself back when it wasn’t widely available (was a surprise short notice showing at my local indie) but never got around to it. Its on Prime now, tho, for free.
I think someone mentioned it on Flayrah, but I could be wrong.
