The 2023 Ursa Major Awards winners were announced at Golden State Fur Con on April 7, 2024.[1] The category for Best Anthropomorphic Music was removed for the 2023 awards due to "infighting" and a "refusal to allow impartial and unbiased management of the nominations and voting"[2]

The awards were the first to be presented in person since the 19th iteration at AnthrOhio 2019.
