Golden Sydney Award
From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.
The Golden Sydney Award was an attempt previous to the Ursa Major Awards to create a furry fandom equivalent to science fiction fandom's Hugo Award. It was awarded to a person in "mainstream" media or publishing who had helped to create a more "furry friendly" atmosphere for anthropomorphic material and fandom. This award is given at the furry convention called ConFurence.
The statuette for the award was a sculpture of ConFurence's mascot character Sydney Fisher, sculpted by Ruben Avila.
The first Golden Sydney was awarded in 1996 to Jymn Magon at ConFurence 7 in Irvine, California. When presented with the award, his first words were: "And she's naked!". He is responsible for the creation of the Disney television series Tailspin and assisted in the making of The Goofy Movie. Winners of this award are focused on anyone in animation and television. [1]
