Take a trip

Watch entries filmed in the outdoors and share your favorites [View this email online]( [NPR Tiny Desk Contest]( From fields of flowers to seaside cliffs (and to lots and lots of backyards), your Tiny Desk Contest entries have taken us to some pretty amazing places this year. Our latest supercut video celebrates those of you who used your outdoor voices and recorded your entries in the wild. It’s soundtracked by Paul Saint John and the Nighthawks, a band whose entry was filmed on a rooftop overlooking the Philadelphia skyline. We shared more of [our favorite entries]( on the All Songs Considered blog last week. You can find those entries, plus all the entries we’ve loved and featured on the blog this year, [in this playlist](. Now, we’d love to know your favorites, too. You can make your own YouTube playlist of favorite entries and share it with us by using #TinyDeskContest. And, if you want to know our judges’ favorite entries … stay tuned. (Hint: We have an exciting announcement coming next week.) --------------------------------------------------------------- Newsletter continues after sponsor message --------------------------------------------------------------- As June comes to an end, you can revisit out our #DeskOfTheDay campaign on [Instagram]( and [Twitter]( to watch even more great entries. Each day for the past month, we’ve been sharing entries notable for their creativity; entries that are sure to impress and entertain, like “[Butter]( from rapper Shelem, who wrote his song by using a bunch of random words submitted by fans, and “[Nosmirc]( by Fian, who might take the crown for creating the craziest, most complex entry we’ve ever seen. One last reminder: Tiny Desk trivia is tomorrow tonight! If you consider yourself a Tiny Desk superfan, now is the time to prove it. Join NPR Music’s Sidney Madden and Tiny Desk Contest judge Bobby Carter (virtually) tomorrow, June 30, at 8 p.m. ET. You can learn more and sign up at [tinydesktrivianight.nprpresents.org](.
