YOUNG auctioneers will make their mark at the 111th Ganmain Show on Saturday.
Tom Marcantelli, 13, of The Riverina Anglican College (TRAC) is one of nine students from three schools to advance through to the next round of the inter-schools competition.
"I think I will go okay ... it is a nerve wracking experience," he said.
Mr Marcantelli said he had learned a lot from being involved in the inter-schools competition.
To make it to the next round, at 11am on Saturday, students had to perform well earlier on during the first section of the judging at TRAC.
