Over two days of intense competition, some of the most talented auctioneers from across Australasia showcased their skills, determination, and passion for their craft.

In the Elite Division, Greg Brydon of Ray White & Apollo Auctions Victoria emerged as the champion, showcasing his unparalleled expertise and commanding presence on the auction floor. His ability to engage bidders earned him well-deserved recognition as one of the best in the business.

In the Open Division, Bryce Bevan of Bresic Whitney claimed the top spot with his exceptional negotiation skills and unwavering confidence. Julia Rust of Apollo Auctions also made a remarkable impression, securing the runner-up position with her poise and professionalism.
