In conjunction with the 2011 Nebraska Auctioneers Association Convention, the association offers an advertising contest for members. This year’s winners submitted advertisements and websites in 10 categories.
All first place winners received a commemorative plaque. Judging was conducted by Kim Hipp of the North Platte Telegraph, North Platte, Nebraska and Marcia Hora of the Arnold Sentinel, Thomas County Herald and Creative Printers of Stapleton, Nebraska. Our judges also selected an overall “Judges Choice” and awarded this to Jack Nitz, Jack Nitz & Associates for his submission in Category 4-D Combination Auctions of Real Estate & Personal Property. Congratulations Jack!
