2020[edit]

With the COVID-19 pandemic still active, the 2020 Ursa Major Awards was also presented online via Youtube.[26] A major change was that The Best Anthropomorphic Dramatic Series or Short Work category was split into two.


2021[edit]

In its third year of being presented online via Youtube[27], the 2021 Ursa Major Awards used an animated mink avatar voiced by Rod O'Riley as the presenter.


2022[edit]

Presented on Youtube[28] for the fourth year, Rod O'Riley once again hosted the awards with the absence of the animated mink avatar of the previous year. This was also the debut of the new category for music. There was no fursuit category due to insufficient nominations.


2023[edit]

The winners of the 2023 Ursas were announced at the Golden State Fur Con on April 7, 2024 after four years of online presentations. The category for Best Anthropomorphic Music was removed for the 2023 iteration of the Ursa Major Awards due to "infighting" and a "refusal to allow impartial and unbiased management of the nominations and voting"[29]
