The Ursa Major Award for Best Anthropomorphic Novel has been awarded since 2001. It is awarded to written works of prose text fiction of at least 40,000+ words. Serialized novels qualify only for the year that the final chapter is published.

Records[edit]

Kyell Gold holds the record for most winnings of the Best Anthropomorphic Novel, as well as of most Ursa Major Awards overall.[1][2] Since 2014, Gold has withdrawn his name from nomination for both Best Novel and Best Short Story in order to allow recognition of other writers in both categories.[3]
