The 2015 competition will be held at the Big Top Amphitheatre at The Sydney Royal Easter Show, kicking off 12pm.

This year marks 25 years of the ALPA National Competition and 27 years of the ALPA New South Wales State Competition.

Mr Gray won his way through to the national final after being named runner up in the Australian Livestock and Property Agents Victorian Young Auctioneers' Competition last year.

The Victorian competition was won by Zeb Broadbent of McKean McGregor and both he and Mr Gray have been in the auctioneers' school system for over three years.

They are looking forward to the experience in Sydney this week and have been working on their selling style.

ALPA CEO, Andy Madigan said celebrating 25 years speaks volumes for the experience and training that ALPA provides to young auctioneers across the country.

"From learning at auctioneers' schools to competing at a state and national level these auctioneers are provided with the training they need to progress their careers and contribute to the future of the profession," he said.

ALPA auctioneers' competitions give young auctioneers the chance to showcase their hard work and dedication to their profession. The success of these competitors is a testament to their personal commitment and the ongoing training and education they undertake.

All competitors have attended ALPA conducted auctioneers' schools throughout the year to further develop their skills and learn from experienced professionals.

The eight national finalists will compete for the Prosser Cup and the winner will represent Australia in the International Livestock Auctioneers' Competition at the Calgary Stampede, Canada.

Competitors will be judged on their diction, values, voice and manner, as well as their presence and unique style, and their performance will be marked by a panel of three judges.

These judges have been chosen based on their industry experience and strong selling backgrounds so that they know exactly how to identify a winning auctioneer.

Paul Dooley, chairman of the ALPA NSW Auctioneers Committee and the first winner of the ALPA Young Auctioneers Competition National Title in 1991 said it is a wonderful competition.

"The training and experience it provided me and so many young auctioneers over the last 25 years is invaluable," he said.

"I believe we owe those who started it a great deal of gratitude."

From local saleyards across Australia these young men will be competing for the state and national titles. The 2015 ALPA NSW and National Young Auctioneers Competition promises to provide an intense auctioneering showdown.
