Nominations are now open for the Good Furry Awards! The GFAs recognize furries all over the globe who give of themselves to the furry community in the spirit of charity and friendship. Prizes will be awarded in three categories:

• The Good Egg Award 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 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 for furries doing good works that don't easily fall into the first two categories.
