The NPR Tiny Desk Contest has returned for 2026.
How to Enter:
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 Jan. 13 and before 11:59 p.m. ET on Feb. 9, 2026.
The Contest will be open from Jan. 13 to Feb. 9, 2026, and you can record your entry now.
