Where the region’s best auctioneers battle for the title and raise money for a great cause!
The South Dakota Auctioneers Association and the Black Hills Stock Show® team up to bring you a high-intensity showcase of rhythm, clarity, charisma, and pure auctioneering talent. It’s fast-talking, crowd-pleasing fun — all for a great cause.

How It Works
Contestants step into the ring for a high-energy preliminary round, judged on:

Rhythm & cadence
Clarity
Command of the crowd
Professional presence

Only the top five auctioneers advance to the championship round — where the competition gets fierce and the stakes get real.

The Finals
In the final round, finalists auction off exclusive items donated by CINCH Trade Show vendors.

Every item sold benefits the Central States Fair Foundation, supporting:

Youth programs
Agricultural education
Fairgrounds improvements
Community initiatives
Your bids help shape the future of the Stock Show and the fairgrounds.
