NEW ORLEANS — A local auctioneer recently walked away with the top prize at an international competition.

On Friday, July 12, the National Auctioneers Association hosted its annual International Junior Auctioneer Championship. This year, Tyce Freije, 18, of Clayton, won the title of 2019 International Junior Auctioneer Champion.

Ten young auctioneers ranging from 12 to 18 years old competed in the annual competition to showcase their bid-calling and interview skills.

Three finalists were selected to compete on Friday before the International Auctioneer Championship (IAC).

Freije took home a trophy and a cash prize, and will be a spokesperson for the young auctioneers of the NAA for the next 12 months.
