As the Downtown Kamloops business association is still looking for a venue to host the bands as it gears up for the competition, but admissions are open for musicians that plan to join.
All bands must have at least three members and perform their own original songs, with two song sets limited to eight minutes.
The competition is intended to be a family event, so any obscenities or "moshing" can disqualify a band.
More information on Battle of the Bands and how to enter the competition can be found on the Downtown Kamloops website here.
