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!
