Does your kitty have what it takes to be the next internet star? Be sure to submit a video for a chance to win The Friskies, the major award for the best new Internet cat videos of 2012. Many great art forms have awards for the best new work created each year. Films have the Oscars®. TV shows have the Emmys®. And now, finally, Internet cat videos have “The Friskies.”
Not only will your cat be a star, but there is a major grand prize of $15,000 for “Best Video” and a donation up to 250,000 cans of Friskies to 25 amazing cat charity organizations.
