The ''Internet Cat Video Festival'' is a national competition that celebrates cat videos on the internet. Many of these festivals include appearances by special guests and celebricats (such as Grumpy Cat and the creator of Nyan Cat), live music, costume contests, art projects, and booths hosting local animal resource nonprofits. The 2013 Minneapolis show will even feature a cat sculpture made out of butter.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://animal.discovery.com/tv-shows/animal-planet-presents/videos/check-out-this-cat-sculpture-made-out-of-butter.htm )〕 ==History== The idea for the first Internet Cat Video Festival came from Katie Hill, a program associate at the Walker Art Center, who suggested it early in 2012 as a sort of joke.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/01/movies/at-cat-video-film-festival-stars-purr-for-close-ups.html )〕 The Festival quickly became a viral phenomenon, drawing a crowd of more than 10,000 fans to the Walker's Open Field. The event caught the attention of local, national, and international audiences and media including the New York Times.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/01/movies/at-cat-video-film-festival-stars-purr-for-close-ups.html )〕 Walker Art Center was joined by community partners Feline Rescue, Animal Humane Society, and The Wildcat Sanctuary.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.walkerart.org/calendar/2013/internet-cat-video-festival-2 )〕 After the inaugural event, the Internet Cat Video Festival went on tour.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.walkerart.org/magazine/2013/nine-lives-internet-cat-video-festival )〕 Stops included UMass, Boston, the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego, and Memphis’ Brooks Museum.
