Each year, we receive entries from all 50 states, thanks in part to encouragement from NPR Member stations across the country. So we asked some stations to tell us about the entries they love.

Our judges are one week closer to picking this year's winner! In the meantime, we hope you discover a new song or artist to love out of our favorite entries from this week.

The 2019 Tiny Desk Contest is officially closed for entries. While our judges deliberate, we've been discovering some great new artists.
