Tiny Desk Contest

Tiny Desk Contest

Monday, 30 March 2020, 11.00pm

Over the past five years, nearly 30,000 musicians from across all 50 states have submitted their videos to NPR’s Tiny Desk Contest in the hopes of being chosen to perform as part of NPR Music’s signature music discovery series. Now, NPR is once again calling for unsigned bands and musicians to submit their entries at NPR.org/tinydeskcontest, starting Feb. 11 at 10 a.m. ET and closing at midnight ET on Monday, March 30.

When you enter the 2020 Tiny Desk Contest, you join a nationwide community of music-makers and creators. Get started on your video now!

Here’s what you do:
– Create a new video that shows you playing one song you’ve written.
– Do it the way you’d perform a Tiny Desk concert: at a desk. (Any desk!)
– Upload your video to YouTube.
– Fill out our entry form after it opens at 10 a.m. ET on Feb. 11 and before 11:59 p.m. ET on March 30, 2020.

The winner will:
– Play a Tiny Desk concert at NPR in Washington, D.C.
– Tour the United States with NPR, supported by State Farm

Keep these things in mind:
– We’re looking for undiscovered talent; you can’t have a current recording contract.
– You must be at least 18 years old and live in the U.S. to enter.
– Our panel of judges — including members of NPR Music, DJs from NPR Member stations and Tiny Desk alums — will choose our winner.
