In the past year, we've had some pretty big names come perform at the Tiny Desk: Lizzo, Jimmy Eat World and Taylor Swift, to name a few.

While seeing these artists' stripped-down sets is impressive, that's not all the Tiny Desk is about. For me, what's really magical and memorable about Tiny Desk concerts is discovering and connecting with musicians our audience likely doesn't know and then getting to share them with our listeners.

We started the Tiny Desk Contest in 2014 in an effort to do even more of that: discover and share great unknown artists. Since the Contest's launch, we've had five outstanding winners, invited even more Contest artists to play at the Desk and heard from countless artists we love along the way. We're excited today to announce that the 2020 Tiny Desk Contest is here.

Here's what you need to know:

We'll start accepting Contest entries next Tuesday, Feb. 11 at 10 a.m. ET. Entries close at midnight ET on Monday, March 30.

To be eligible to win, you must be an unsigned musician and at least 18 years old.

To enter, record a video of yourself playing one original song at a desk (any desk will do!) and upload it to YouTube.

Send us your song by submitting your video at npr.org/tinydeskcontest.

The winner will be chosen by a panel of judges. I'll be joined by some great Tiny Desk alums: Brittany Howard, Gina Chavez and last year's winner, Quinn Christopherson. Bobby Carter, Tiny Desk concert producer extraordinaire, will be part of the team, plus Raina Douris of WXPN's World Cafe and Tarik Moody of 88Nine Radio Milwaukee.

If you want to make sure your video is eligible to win, you can take this easy quiz or read the official rules.

The Tiny Desk Contest Is Back For 2020

About  MKEFilm

The MKEFilm organization originated in 2008, with a vision of enlivening the film industry in Milwaukee which was little-known at the time, but still very present, and creating a film fest that would further propel awareness and legitimacy of the scene. The first film fest took place in 2009 and was a huge success, and it has grown and grown ever since!  

MKE Film has over 4000 members/donors today, with many different levels of membership, and types of memberships. These include the Black Lens Council (highlighting black filmmakers in the Milwaukee area) and the Milwaukee Filmmakers Alliance. These members fund the organization, as well as companies including 88Nine Radio Milwaukee, GoodCity Brewing (who hosted the program release party that I attended,) and The Journal Sentinel!

“I had somebody say to me really early on, I was like... It was my friend Ryan Rado, who made the painting for the Turn Out the Lights album cover. I was like, ‘Man, I feel like the only thing I wanna do with a microphone when I get it is turn it away,’ because I always learned about shows being about gang vocals!

... He said to me, he was like, ‘But you can’t change the fact that you have the microphone. So you’re going to have to say something into it anyway.’ And then I was like, ‘Well what do I say?’

What do I say if I wanna- if I truly want the world to be a better place. What can I say, to make whoever follows the Julien Baker music account on Twitter think about being a better person! ... Like I want to put ideas and links to articles and history podcasts about like- I want to put that in front of the people that trust me enough to smash that follow button. You know? Like, I- I wanna try. ...I think I really just wanted to be good.”

#BBQBecky

https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-44167760

In April 2018, in the designated grilling area of Oakland, California’s Lake Merritt Park, a black family was hosting a midday barbecue. The family-hosted barbecue, which should be a seemingly innocuous activity regardless of race, or any other demographic measure, resulted in two racially fueled phone calls to the police by a bigoted bystander. Jennifer Schulte, the woman who called the police, was recorded by a benevolent passerby as she rattled off a laundry list of fabricated violations and criminal offensives by the back family. The 24-minute recording of the phone calls, which has close to 10 million views on YouTube, took the internet by storm, engendering the hashtag: bbqbecky. At first the hashtag was only associated with Jennifer’s racially biased phone calls, but quickly came to represent any and all deranged interactions by racist whites on the internet. #bbqbecky was a harbinger for policy change on racially biased phone calls to police; since the incident, several states have made it illegal to make discriminatory 911 calls.

Schulte’s racist motives, which she attempted to cover up by claiming her call was due to the family’s charcoal grill, are a vivid demonstration of whiteness, reflective of the themes in Butler’s Mirrors of Privilege, McIntosh’s White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack. 

McIntosh introduces us to all the daily privileges we have as whites, implicit conditions that we take for granted. The instance of BBQBECKY juxtaposes white privilege with the discrimination blacks face in their daily lives. A white family gathering for a barbecue, following all park guidelines, would not have to think twice about a passerby calling the cops on them. Yet, a black family, like who gather that April day, has to be aware of potential prosecution and discrimination at all times– even when they are abiding by the law. We are unable to determine whether Jennifer phoned the police out of “fear” of the black family, which is very plausible as media mostly portrays blacks negatively (highlighting criminality while seldom presenting accomplishments or positive social impact), or out of mere racist sentiments. Whichever the case, the actions taken are active forms of racism, which show how even the most pedestrian moments can result in unwarranted harassment for blacks (Mcintosh). 

The fear and racial sentiment captured in the BBQbecky clip has existed within whites for centuries, as it has been disseminated via education systems, media, and legislation. In Butler’s Mirrors of Privilege, one participant describes the overt police presence on a college campus whenever a group of 5 or more black men gathered. The presumption that a gathering of blacks means some sort of violent or criminal activity is present in BBQbecky. Although, thankfully, there were consequences for the racially fueled phone call, BBQbecky shows that such sentiment is still present within white conscious. 

  abcnews.go.com/US/white-long-island-couple-charged-harassment-complaints-black/story?id=72441328.

The captured event and subsequent hashtag have brought increased attention to the harassment of blacks on a global scale. It is positive that the discrimination and harassment blacks face on a daily basis can be witnessed by the masses. It triggered a chain of similar postings and hashtags. Although I don't think it needs to be said, significant change does not happen electronically or via social media. A repost or like only reflects one's sentiments; the impact is rarely transferred in everyday life. Until the energy put towards posting, sharing, and hashtagging racist events is translated towards law making (harsher consequences for racist action and police phone calls) and on the ground activism, calls from racist pedestrians will persist.
