We’ll post the videos to our website and YouTube channel and share them with our readers, who’ll be able to vote for their favorites after the contest closes.
After COVID-19 has been brought under control and restrictions on gatherings have been lifted, the Taos News will be co- hosting a community event where some of the favorite artists – chosen by readers and judges – will be invited to perform.
Have fun, stay safe and keep the creative juices flowing
