<br />
The '''Golden Sydney Award''' was an attempt prior to the [[Ursa Major Awards]] to create a [[furry fandom]] equivalent to [[science fiction]] fandom's [[Wikipedia:Hugo Award|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 was given at the [[furry convention]] called [[ConFurence]]. <br />
<br />
The statuette for the award was a sculpture of [[ConFurence]]'s [[mascot]] [[character]] [[Sydney Fisher]], sculpted by [[Ruben Avila]].<br />
<br />
The first Golden Sydney was awarded in 1996 to [[Jymn Magon]] at [[ConFurence 7]] in [[Wikipedia:Irvine, California|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 ''[[A Goofy Movie]]''. Winners of this award are focused on anyone in animation and television. <ref>[http://www.confurence.org/infurnation/ifn9604.html#syd The First Annual Golden Sydney Award].
