The Howard Gardner Award

The Howard Gardner Award recognises an AuctionsPlus Assessor who embodies the values of innovation and community, while playing a key role in mentoring and inspiring the next generation of assessors.

This award celebrates an assessor who actively supports new assessors entering the industry - including completing parallels and signing off new assessors - helping them grow in capability and confidence as part of the AuctionsPlus network.

Named in honour of Howard Gardner, the company’s founding CEO, this award celebrates his legacy and lasting impact on the future of livestock marketing.

The Gary Dick Award

The Gary Dick Award recognises an AuctionsPlus Assessor at the forefront of innovation, measured by strong adoption of new products, high clearance and throughput, and advocacy within the agency profession.

Launched in 2024, it honours former CEO Gary Dick (1987–2014), celebrating his role in the platform's national growth and his commitment to the livestock industry.

The Young Gun Award

This award celebrates a young Assessor (under 30) who is making strong progress in their agency career - seizing opportunities, embracing challenges, and actively engaging with the industry and its communities.

It recognises their dedication to the agency profession and their commitment as an AuctionsPlus Accredited Assessor.

 The Industry Woman of the Year Award

The AuctionsPlus Woman in Ag Award recognises a woman who has demonstrated outstanding skill, passion, and dedication in the livestock industry, whether as a producer, Assessor, or in another key role.

She will be a trailblazer, driving progress and opening doors for other women to thrive and lead within the industry.

The Top Machinery Excellence Award

This award recognises the Agent or Field Manager with the highest gross machinery sales on AuctionsPlus for the financial year, highlighting their dedication to delivering strong results for clients through the platform.

As machinery continues to grow as a key category on AuctionsPlus, this award complements our Top Assessor and Top Agency awards - shining a spotlight on the valuable work of Selling Agents beyond livestock.
