The contest was originally the Tri-State Auction Competition and consisted of North Dakota, Minnesota, and South Dakota. It has expanded over the years to the Greater Midwest. It rotates among six states now: North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, South Dakota and Nebraska. Although the competition rotates sites in 6 midwestern states, contestants from all over the United States and Canada are welcome to participate

Congratulations Scott and Mark for a job well done!
