Just look at the top three categories. We had an embarrassment of riches in 2022.

Well, whatever happens here, I just want to say for next year, I hope the Mario movie doesn't get nominated. Not because "Screw Illumination" or "Screw Chris Pratt," but because the Mario games have almost never really made a presence in the awards, so the movie getting on there would feel weird. Only game semi-related to that universe is Donkey Konga. Evene then, Donkey Kong games are surprisingly sparse from the awards as well.

Ursa Major Awards 2022 Nominees: It's wonderful to see the diverse range of talent and creativity within the furry community represented in this year's Ursa Major Awards nominees. Spanning various categories, from motion pictures to novels and even music, it's clear that anthropomorphic art and storytelling continue to thrive and evolve.

As a furry enthusiast, I am particularly excited to see the inclusion of new music and dramatic short works categories, showcasing the growth of the community in previously unexplored directions. The absence of the Best Fursuit category this year is unfortunate, but it's a reminder that we must continue to promote and support all aspects of our community to ensure they flourish.

The impact of this year's nominees on the furry community is immense, as they encourage further creativity and inspire new artists and storytellers to join and contribute their talents. It's essential to evaluate each nominee not only for their entertainment value but also for their ability to push the boundaries of what it means to be anthropomorphic art.

By critiquing and comparing the works across various categories, we can gain a deeper understanding of the themes and narratives that resonate within the community and promote those that best represent our values and aspirations. Remember, every vote counts, so let's support our favorites and celebrate the incredible achievements of our fellow furries!

Thank you for your kind and hopeful words.

As far as the fursuit section goes, it may be better that fursuit creators add their creation to the recommended list and document the necessary information. Then people can use the recommended list to nominate more easily then recalling which fursuits debuted in which year.

Information for fursuits is hard to come by. Usually only the creator and commissioner know when they were created. So it's going to require awareness for creators to push to have their works recommended for nomination. There isn't good publication information as there is with works of art and written published works to utilize for qualification.

Furries tend to be humble, but ironically the fursuit catagory is going to probably require our fursuit makers to get a little flaunty.

A bit sad I didn't make the cut for the first ever music award, but happy to see it finally being recognized :)

I'm a different furry with different opinions.
