🎼 The 2026 Public Song Project is here! And this year, we’re turning up the volume on the public domain.

🤝 For the first time, WNYC’s Public Song Project is partnering with the Internet Archive!

🎤 Anyone can participate.

📚 The public domain in the U.S. includes creative works published in 1930 or earlier, sound recordings from 1925 or earlier, plus U.S. federal government works.

📆 Submit your song by May 10
