Just wondering why should bands pay for attending the competition? That's not fair for the bands and sounds like some one is just gathering revenue for themselves and making sure that there is no risk doing this competition. Organisers usually take the risk of these type of events.

It's a way to screen non-serious competitors. Based on the value of the prize, the entrance fee is more than reasonable – besides, artists have the potential to earn income through competing.

However, for a limited time the fee has been dropped so entrance is currently free
