The 2025 Tiny Desk Contest! The folks at NPR Music are thrilled to be back for another year, searching for the next great undiscovered artist to play a Tiny Desk concert.
Those who submit to the Contest join a growing community of passionate independent musicians from across the country. Many entrants will be featured by NPR Music in some way — whether it be on our YouTube channel as part of our Top Shelf series, our Instagram where we feature notably creative entries, on air when Weekend Edition shares entrants' stories, at live shows this summer or right here on All Things Considered where we'll share the best entries of different genres.
The winner will get to play a real Tiny Desk concert — as well as be interviewed on All Things Considered, play a 10-city tour and be paired with a music industry mentor.
