The Tiny Desk Contest – NPR Music’s annual nationwide search for the next great undiscovered artist to play a Tiny Desk concert – is back for its tenth year. The Tiny Desk team will begin accepting entries on Tuesday, January 23, 2024.
When you enter the 2024 Tiny Desk Contest, you join a nationwide community of music-makers and creators. Get started on your video now!
Are you eligible?
Only eligible entries can win the Contest. Does your entry have what it takes? We’ve got a quick and easy way to help you find out!
Here’s how the Contest works:
- To enter, you’ll need to record a video of you performing one original song (and make sure your video includes a desk!) and upload your video to YouTube.
- You can submit your entry on the Contest website between 10 a.m. ET on Jan. 23 and before 11:59 p.m. ET on Feb. 21, 2024.
- To be eligible to win, you must be an unsigned musician and at least 18 years old.
- If you win, you’ll play your very own Tiny Desk concert at NPR’s HQ and headline our Tiny Desk Contest On The Road Tour.
Keep these things in mind:
- NPR Music is 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.
- The panel of judges — including members of NPR Music, DJs from NPR Member stations, industry experts and Tiny Desk alums — will choose the winner.
- Take this quiz to see if you’re eligible.
