The KAA holds this contest annually.  In 2023, it was held as an all-in-one event at the Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson, which started with interviews in the morning and bid calling in the afternoon.  Bid calling has a preliminary round of selling items with the top five scoring auctioneers selling in a final round to determine the order of finish.
