Tag: Good Furry Award

Hi! The Good Furry Awards were presented at Anthro SoCal last Friday in Ontario, California. This is the eighth year of the awards, and some special announcements were made.

The Good Furry Awards were founded in 2019 by Grubbs Grizzly and are sponsored by Uncle Bear Publishing (www.unclebearpublishing.com) and the furry advice column Ask Papabear (www.askpapabear.com). Furries are nominated by their peers in three categories:
The Good Egg Award for charitable work
The Image Award for broadcasting and
The Furtastic Award for other works of kindness and generosity
Winners receive a handsome trophy and a check for $200. There is also a Lifetime Achievement Award for furries who have dedicated decades of their lives to the furry fandom and have had a significant impact on it.

The winners this year are…

Paco Panda for the Good Egg Award
I’m Definitely Not a Popufur for the Image Award
and
Shy Matsi for the Furtastic Award

The Lifetime Achievement Award went to Uncle Kage.

This year, a one-time-only Special Award was created and presented to Mango Axollama because they have received more nominations (6 out of 8 years, and it would have been 7 but they declined one year) and more votes than any other furry when you combine them over the years. Chair Grubbs Grizzly said, “I was starting to call Mango the Susan Lucci of the furry fandom for being nominated so many times without winning, and I really believed all the generous things he has done for his community merited recognition, so we created this unique award for a unique, kind, and very modest but deserving furry.”

The other important announcement was that the Lifetime Achievement Award will be renamed next year as The Sylys Sable Award for Lifetime Achievement in honor of the late Mark Merlino.

It’s time to pick who you feel should win the Good Furry Award.

The List is long https://www.unclebearpublishing.com/2025-nominees.html#/ and the descriptions help. Everyone from Yappy Fox to Alkali is there and I already know who I am voting for. But I can not influence anyone, and I am not saying who I voted for. It is only fair.

What Is the Good Furry Award?

The Good Furry Award is an annual award that debuted in 2019. Furries nominate and select a fellow furry (or furries, you may nominate as many as you wish) whom they wished to recognize for outstanding spirit in the furry community. The awards were hosted on the “Ask Papabear” advice column website until 2024, but they are now being proudly hosted here at Uncle Bear!

Winners will be announced at this year’s Another Furry Con in Ontario, California, this September!

Winners will receive a handsome trophy and a cash prize of $200 each!

There are three category winners each year, plus the Lifetime Achievement Award:

• The Good Egg Award: This prize is for furries who do charitable and other volunteer work, such as helping out at furcons, raising money for animal charities, or doing work in their non-furry communities. 
• The Image Award: This prize goes to furries who present a positive image of the fandom through the media, including YouTube videos, documentaries, vlogs, podsts, websites and other similar means of communication.​
• The Furtastic Award: This prize is basically for furries doing good works that don’t easily fall into the first two categories. A good example of this is Chise, who has done amazing research for the mRNA vaccines. It could also apply to a furry who you believe is just an all-around wonderful, lovely person, even if they might not do charity work or do something in the media. An example might be, for instance, a furry who offered their home to a homeless furry until they could get back on their feet again.

So now is a good time if you know someone special who deserves recondition now is the time

Your not going to see me bash any of the nominees as I know 3 of them, and they all follow me on social media.

It would show favoritism if I happened to mention their names. Although I did interview 1 twice for my blog… Joe Strike who is a pretty cool guy. In my opinion well deserved.

Just listing the names, let alone what they did to deserve the nomination is wrong but check out what has been said.

The 2024 Good Furry Awards are now open to receive nominations. This is the sixth year for the program, which is sponsored by the “Ask Papabear” advice column and Uncle Bear Publishing.

For the past five years, the award has gone to one person, with honorary mentions to three others. This year will be different. There are now three categories for the award and one furry will win in each category: The Good Egg Award: For furries doing good deeds for others. The Image Award: For furries in various media promoting and informing about the fandom. The Furtastic Award: For furries doing any other good deeds not falling into the first two categories. There will also be a Lifetime Achievement Award for the third year.
