- Submissions will not be returned.
- Images submitted for this contest may be used in future Auctioneer magazines or for other NAA promotional and marketing purposes.
- Each entry will be judged by a panel of marketing professionals according to standards of excellence. Entries are not judged against one another, but rather by a pre-determined set of criteria to reach certain award levels.
- All entries are eligible for a “Best of Show” award. Awards will be given for photography, print and digital.

Anything that does not meet the minimum standards of excellence will not receive an award.
