Announcing the annual Kodiak Pet Idol 2017 contest. This year we are doing something a little different for our Pet Idol Contest. We are asking you to submit funny and cute videos of your pets as well as photos. Why videos? Because we are hosting the first even Kodiak Pet Film Festival as part of the Beachcombers 25th Reunion the weekend of September 21-25th.

So dig out those lovable pet photos or videos, even better, shoot footage of your animal doing something ... new and lovable. The contest is open to amateurs and professionals alike. It is for all species of animals large and small. The main purpose is to celebrate the joy that animals bring to our lives.The best videos will be awarded fabulous prizes and bragging rights in multiple categories the night of the film festival. While all photos will be featured in the annual Pet Idol calendar, the top 12 pets will be the featured pet of the month.
