Ursa Major Awards voting deadline is APRIL 19

The Ursa Major Awards feature the furry fandom’s favorite media published in the past year. Anyone in the community is welcome to vote for movies, short films, series, novels, short fiction, nonfiction, comics, games, websites, magazines, illustrations, music, and more…

You only have until Saturday April 19, so go to the voting page and do it now!

For nonfiction, please consider the Fur and Loathing podcast. Reporter Nicky Woolf and the team at Brazen worked hard to produce a podcast series investigating the Midwest Furfest 2014 chemical attack. They gave respect to the community and would appreciate recognition.

Follow the Ursas on Bluesky. Behind the awards, Rowedahelicon is new on staff and taking suggestions, and there’s a new policy about AI generated content. The awards are organized by a small team of devoted volunteers, and there is a cost to maintain this – you can donate to support them:

Nominations Open for 7th Annual Good Furry Awards

The Good Furry Awards recognize members of the furry community who help others and improve it through charity and friendship. You may nominate as many furries as you wish at the GFA Nomination form.

Prizes go to three categories:

• The Good Egg Award: for doing charitable or volunteer work, such as supporting furcons, raising money, or other service.
• The Image Award: for presenting a positive image of the fandom in media like YouTube videos, documentaries, websites and more.
• The Furtastic Award: for good works that don’t easily fit other categories.

Anyone active in furry fandom is eligible, and can be voted on by peers to win trophies and $200 cash.

The Lifetime Achievement Award is a special award presented by a select committee. Previously it has honored Mark Merlino and Rod O’Riley (joint), Reed Waller, and Steve Gallacci.

Nominations are open from now to July 31, then voting will begin, and awards will be presented in September.

The award is hosted and sponsored by Uncle Bear Publishing, and will be presented at Another Furry Con in Ontario, California.
