Nominations Open for 7th Annual Good Furry Awards
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.
All furries active in the fandom currently are eligible. Winners are voted on by their peers and receive handsome trophies and a $200 cash award.

Furgeddaboutit 2025 Reg Open
How much does this cost?
- For those 14 and under it’s free*! (*with a paying adult (18+) parent or guardian only)
- For those 15 and over see below!
Are there different registration levels?
Yes, we have two registration levels:
- Attendee: $50.00
- Sponsor: $100.00
Why should I register as a Sponsor?
Running an event this big, especially on short notice, is a difficult and expensive undertaking. First and foremost, registering as a Sponsor helps us keep the overall cost of the event lower for everyone else while still covering our financial obligations. Doing so will earn you the endless gratitude of our entire staff, as the primary reason we offer this tier is to give you a way to support the community, if you are willing and able. Beyond that, we’ll give you some special rewards:
- An exclusive event t-shirt – Gotta rock that Furgeddaboutit look!
- A coffee mug – Don’t forget that morning cup while you do so!
- A mini backpack – Carry all your swag in style!
- A keychain – Even your keys are rockin’ it!
Furgeddaboutit takes place May 2nd to 4th at the Doubletree in Mt. Laurel, NJ

Guess where they posted this, on their own site
Your enthusiasm has once again stuffed the Westin Harbour Castle to the brim – we had a total of 3,690 attendees! Of those, at least 1,611 fuzzy friends were spotted in fursuit. While we may not be able to grow our attendance numbers right now, one very important number did see big growth…
We’ve raised over $20,500 for our 2025 charity, Procyon Wildlife! Final counts are still being performed yet we’ve already beat last year’s record of over $14,000. Feel proud that your generosity truly has no limit! We are proud to support the protection of Ontario’s wildlife for another year. Those of you who showed up to empty your pockets make a real difference and we hope you check out the results of your kindness on our Charity page.and The Theme for 2026
