In addition to voting on the musical categories this year, I'd like to help mention that today is Bandcamp friday! Where 100% of the sales go to the artist.
Now more than ever, your favorite musicians could use the support, and days like today are of great benefit to everyone!

You can go back and edit your nominations at any time until the period has ended!
As it has been asked a few times, nominations work like votes! The top 5 most nominated qualifying entries in each category make it into the final vote! I'll make sure to add this information to our website!
So spread the word of what you've nominated so others can do the same!
The top 5 most nominated qualifying entries for each category! If you nominate something, pass it along to whomever so they can help do the same!
Entries that don't quite make it may also end up in our recommended content list!
We have some other things in the works to mark our 25th anniversary, but you'll have to wait just a bit longer for that!
The other is a special one-time category to celebrate 25 years of the UMAS! Best Classic Furry Video game!
This special category accepts *any* game before 2001 that includes some level of anthropomorphic representation! Additional details are on the nomination page!
We have two new categories for 2025! The first of which is Best Furry Streamer! Got a favorite furry vtuber, artist, gamer, or so on?
You can nominate them! You can even nominate 5 of them at once!

Wow, what a busy year! I'm just about ready to debut a brand new, updated, redesigned-ish website for the Ursa Major Awards~!
Sorry for the wait, but hey, pretty good for a pro-bono job :'3
Hello, apologies for the delay! I've been trying to get a hold of the person in charge of sending them out, but they have yet to get back to me. ^w^;
And finally, the trophies for this year have been sent out to the winners!
In the mean time, work on redesigning the website will commence soon. I am super excited to show that off as we go along~!

You all provided very valuable feedback, now it's up to us to go over it and factor it in to future decisions, for this, I ask your patience while we do so~
Happy pride month, everyone <3
Keep feeding us suggestions~! We've gotten a lot of very useful feedback so far!
