Selection Criteria

By applying, you are aware of the terms listed below:

  • We aim to have a diverse selection of music genres.
  • We prioritize bands over solo artists. (We still encourage solo artists to apply.)
  • We prioritize live musicians over tracks or pre-recorded content.
  • Stage presence impacts our decision. We encourage high-energy performers.
  • Submission order does not impact a selection decision.
  • Covers and originals are weighed equally in the selection process.
  • The decision is based off of a democratic voting process by members of the Band Booking Committee.

We understand the competitive nature of the audition process and recognize that not all applicants will be chosen to perform. Our selection process is focused on the flow of the festival and should not be seen as a “make or break” merit one time a year choice on the success of your group.
