They wrote the songs. They found the desk. They submitted the videos. Now, it's waiting time to find out who will win the 2018 Tiny Desk Contest from NPR Music.
Bands from all of the country submitted hundreds of songs to the contest for the chance to play a Tiny Desk Concert at NPR, appear at a taping of the quiz show "Ask Me Another," and tour the United States.
But who cares about the rest of the country? We just want to know: How did Columbus bands do?
We collected all the videos submitted by bands from Central Ohio, and we want YOU to vote on your favorite. Whether or not they win the national contest, we'll show them off on WOSU's website. Deadline to vote is April 23.
