Voting is closed for the Cóyotl Awards. The counting machine has been cleared of shed fur and we have tabulated the totals. Thanks to the Furry Film Burrow for hosting the announcement of winners this year–a venue that we may use for future awards announcements too!

The winners of the 2024 Cóyotl Awards are:

Winner for Best Novel
Far Flung – Utunu

Winner for Best Novella
You Look Lost, Pup – Rob MacWolf

Winner for Best Short Story
“Houses of Stone” – Utunu (in The Heavens Within Our Grasp)

Winner for Best Anthology
The Heavens Within Our Grasp – Furry Historical Fiction Society

Winner for Best Other Work
Voice of Dog – Rob MacWolf

Congratulations to the winners! A big thanks to everyone who worked to bring their work to publication this year. We as a fandom are so lucky to have writers, editors, publishers, and readers who are so generous with their time and talent. Truly, we couldn’t do this without you.

Sincerely, 

• The staff of the Furry Writers Guild

Note: It came to our attention after voting started that Kyell Gold’s novel Squeak Thief is over 70,000 words. While this word count qualifies it as a novel by the Cóyotl Awards, we chose not to change it while the process was ongoing. Our main concern was to not invalidate the votes already cast. Based on the votes, the change in category would not have changed the winner in either category. While this might seem like a minor issue, we felt that being transparent in this process was the right way to go. Thank you to everyone who nominated and voted.

August 1-3, 2025 – Delta Hotel, Ottawa

NomandiCon was held in Nashville and seemly a successful con. But since Sept of last year, things began happening. Social Media accounts vanishing, web site down. I just don’t mean taken down. According to this one site their Host, removed there site from their system. Because it wasn’t renewed.

To be honest the only thing they still have up is their Facebook page, but that has not been updated since Sept 2024. I would say it is gone, I know nothing official got posted anywhere. But when a convention goes under they rarely ever post they have.

Unless NomandiCon rises from the dead, I would say it is done.

Hey FWA! Hope y’all are having a great time! Be sure to keep an eye out for our #Eufuria2025 flyers, and follow what they say on the back to be entered to win a neat prize!
