22 Feb NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Seeks Talent | Open March 13, 2023
Tiny Desk Seeks Big Talent!
Got a big dream of playing the Tiny Desk?
Send us a video of you playing one song behind a desk of your choosing. If you win, you’ll get to play your very own Tiny Desk concert and go on tour with NPR Music.
Make Your Video
When you enter the 2023 Tiny Desk Contest, you join a nationwide community of music-makers and creators. Get started on your video now! Entries open on Feb. 7.
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. 7 and before 11:59 p.m. ET on March 13, 2023.
The winner will:
- Play a Tiny Desk concert at NPR in Washington, D.C.
- Be featured on NPR’s All Things Considered
- Headline NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Contest On The Road tour
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., U.S.V.I. or Puerto Rico to enter.
- Our panel of judges — including members of NPR Music, DJs from NPR Member stations and Tiny Desk alums — will choose our winner.
- Check our Official Rules for all the requirements. Take this quiz to see if you’re eligible.
