The Auctioneer Rising Star of the Year award celebrates the art of the call and the exhilarating energy of the auction floor. This prestigious title is designed specifically for those who have sharpened their skills through the Barry Plant Novice Auctioneer Program, offering them a platform to showcase their talent and command of the crowd. It is a true test of charisma, rhythm, and negotiation, highlighting the emerging voices who are set to become the future masters of the gavel within our network.

Participation in this category is an intensive journey, requiring agents to earn their official accreditation through the Barry Plant Auctioneer Program. To ensure a level playing field, all competitors are tasked with auctioning the same property, carefully selected by Head Office, in front of a live audience. This live-performance format allows each novice to demonstrate their ability to handle pressure and engage bidders in a high-stakes environment.

There is no manual online submission required for this award, as the winner is determined by a live competitive performance. Each participant is evaluated by an independent panel of expert judges who award points based on technical precision, presence, and overall impact. The individual who secures the highest score at the Barry Plant Auction Competition is crowned the Rising Star, marking them as an elite newcomer in the competitive world of auctioneering.
