%title Coyotl Awards Speech
* About the Cóyotl awards
* I am Madison Scott-Clary, and I'm this year's awards chair, and welcome to the 2020 Cóyotl Awards ceremony.
* The awards have a long history having spanned over ten years. There are have been many works nominated in that time — 152 total.
* 2020 is the first year a new category has been added to the awards since 2013. This year we added 'best other work'.
* Only three authors have ever had two pieces up for votes in the same category during a single year: Sarina Dorie for Best Short Story in 2012, Renee Carter Hall for Best Short Story in 2013, and Alopex for Best Anthology in 2013.
* Kyell Gold has had the most works nominated for Best Novel at six novels (eight if you count his works as Tim Susman).
* Kyell also has been nominated for Best Novella the most times with five nominations but is closely followed by Frances Pauli with four nominations.
* The authors most nominated for Best Short Story are Mary E. Lowd and Sparf tied at three stories.
* The late Fred Patten has edited the most nominated anthologies for Best Anthology with a total of four.
* Gre7g Luterman is the only author to win a Cóyotl Award, a Leo Literary Award, and an Ursa Major Award in a single year for the same work (Fair Trade in 2019).
* Renee Carter Hall has won the most Cóyotl Awards with a grand total of four. She is also the only author to win two awards in a single year, which happened during the inaugural 2011 Cóyotl Awards.
* Best Short Story
* Short stories are the heart of the furry writing world, it seems, and for good reason. It's nice to be able to tell something from start to finish in only a few thousand words, there's always a market for shorter works, and it's a good way to feel that sense of accomplishment when you finish.
* There are many different venues for short stories. Anthologies fill the furry publishing world, podcasts and magazines continue to thrive, and SoFurry remains a bustling hub of furry writing.
