The Walker Art Center is thrilled to present the second Internet Cat Video Festival on Wednesday, August 28, at the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand. As with the first #catvidfest, we are crowdsourcing videos from fans around the world. The first festival included 79 videos selected by a team of curators more than 10,000 nominations.  This year, we are again asking for your help to create the lineup. Check your bookmarks, ask your friends, and spend some quality time “researching” at work--then share your favorite Internet cat clips.

Guidelines for submitting your nomination:

1. All submissions must be publicly available on YouTube or Vimeo.

2. Please carefully copy the URL of the video into the field below.

3. New for this year: we are inviting you to nominate your video into a specific category. Please select the category most fitting your entry.

4. Also new for this year is a special category for "Minnesota Kitties".  The Cat-on-a-Stick Category is a fitting homage to the Minnesota State Fair, our venue for this year's edition.
 
5. Awards will be given in each category at the August 30 event, including the Golden Kitty for "Best in Show".

6. You may nominate as many videos as you like, but you will need to fill out a separate entry for each nomination.

7. You may and are encouraged to nominate your own video, just be sure to post it to YouTube or Vimeo first.

DEADLINE FOR NOMINATIONS IS MAY 1, 2013

After the nomination process closes we will post an online vote for the "People Choice Award". Be sure to join us on August 28th for the debut of the festival.  For full information regarding the festival, visit www.walkerart.org/catvidfest
