RMEB Auctioneers to Compete for International Auctioneer Championship Title

Fort Collins, Colorado may soon be the home of the world’s best auctioneer if David Whitley or Casey Giddings have anything to say about it. Casey and David will be joining over 90 auctioneers from across the world in Nashville at the 59th International Auctioneers Conference and Show to compete in the 20th International Auctioneer Championship competition. The male and female winners of this competition are regarded by the auction industry as being the best in the world.

These competitors will be judged on their presentation, chant, voice quality, body language and other elements of effective auctioneering. There is also an interview segment of the competition that participants will be judged on. The finalists will compete on Friday, July 11, 2008 before over 1,000 of their peers at the Renaissance Nashville Hotel and Nashville Convention Center in Nashville, TN. The winners will receive a $10,000 cash prize, trophy and become the spokespersons for the National Auctioneers Association before the media and state auctioneer associations across the country. One of the highlights of their reign as IAC champions include auctioneering at the St. Jude Toy Auction for the patients of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. The IAC Champions sell toys donated by the National Auctioneers Association to patients who use play money to bid on the toys.
