BoysLove France Awards

The BFA awards ceremony will be held during Y/CON 12 on Saturday 7 November 2026. The awards are organised in partnership with the Mangacollec app, which will allow people to vote for the titles they support.

But how will it all work?

• Firstly, our judging panel will select the titles to be nominated in each of the 12 categories, based on all releases from 2025.
• Once this step has been completed, we’ll open a voting period on the Mangacollec app and website.
• The results will be announced on stage at Y/CON 12 on Saturday 7 November at 4:30 PM. Please note that only the first-place winners in each category will be announced.

Afterwards, there’ll be a Twitch stream featuring the full results (in the good old-fashioned way), even though you’ll already know the first-place winners.

Threads will be posted afterwards and YaoiCast will provide the most comprehensive listing on its blog, as always.

A podcast born out of Caroline Segarra’s budding passion for BL, its first episodes were produced alongside Tanja and Sironimo. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the podcast became a live Twitch stream, which went on hiatus at the end of 2024 before returning in January 2026. The team has grown over the years and comprises members with a wide variety of tastes.

This one-of-a-kind convention offers a programme that is as rich as it is varied, spread across an area of 9,200 m². Dedicated exclusively to homo-fiction, Y/CON showcases cultural works featuring gay, lesbian, trans, bi and asexual themes, as well as M/M, F/F, yaoi, yuri, bara and much more… More than 9,000 loyal and curious visitors from across Europe are expected to attend this year.
