This checker is only indicative. The official rules remain the final reference.

Donation and free entry are parallel routes

A $25 donation to KUER produces one automatic entry, but donating is not required. KUER also links to a free online form that asks for the entrant’s contact details.

Both routes feed the same sweepstakes, so the free form is a genuine alternate method rather than a separate prize or drawing.

Unlimited entries are explicitly allowed

This promotion is unusual because the official rules state that entries are unlimited regardless of method.

That means the normal one-entry or one-entry-per-day assumptions used by many sweepstakes do not apply here; the official entry rules for this campaign are the controlling limit.

What the $2,300 trip covers

The stated prize value is $2,300: round-trip travel for two to Washington, D.C. is valued at $1,700 and two hotel nights in one standard double room are valued at $600.

Access for two to a Tiny Desk Concert is included, but the rules note that the concert access itself is not commercially available for valuation.

The concert date is arranged by the sponsor

The Tiny Desk visit is expected between March and May 2027 and must line up with a sponsor-arranged concert. The winner cannot simply choose any date.

Reservations are subject to availability and approval, and the winner and companion must travel together with the required documents.

The response window is only 48 hours

The random drawing is scheduled on or about November 2, 2026 and notification is by email.

The potential winner must respond within 48 hours of the first notice, or after two contact attempts if that occurs first, and must supply requested documents on time to keep the prize.
