About the 2021 Contest
There will be no family festival and no animal rescue festival at this year’s contest. While the event is still free to attend, there will be assigned and ticketed seating to ensure social distancing. Priority seating will be given to the families of contestants, the contest sponsor, and Drake University students. Remaining ticketed seats will be open to the general public.

Griff is once again collecting donations of adult pet food for area animals in need. Learn how to contribute.
