How are the bands for the bad competition chosen? Is there some sort of selection process?
no selection process.
The first 12 bands to sign up in December get a shot.
when do those sign ups begin in December?
Yes. The contests for both festivals become available when the tickets for the respective festivals go on sale.
Typically, the band contest spots are phone only for the first day.
