The Ursa Major Awards, Furry Fandom's answer to the Hugo Awards ™ or the People's Choice Awards, have been around for nearly two decades. (Visit www.ursamajorawards.org if you haven't already!) And now, time being what it is, some of the folks who've been spending many of those years helping to make the awards happen every year are looking to retire. [No, I'm not one of them yet!] In fact, several people involved already HAVE retired -- or passed away. And so, those of us who want to see the awards carry on into the future are now looking for some new help! And so, we are putting out a call for new members of the Anthropomorphic Literature and Arts Association (ALAA), the organization that puts on the awards every year. Our all-volunteer organization makes collective decisions on how the awards move forward, helps to secure funding (for our beautiful award trophies, among other things), and does the work necessary to make this all happen. It's not a great deal of work, but it does require a real commitment and some genuine interest. Sound like something that fluffs your fur at all? Send me a message and I'll fill you in on more details. And, thank you.
