An Audition trick that I learned during my Master's Degree...

Once you've learned all the music, you've got to prepare yourself for the energy rush of the audition. A teacher (for an auditions class) told us to do something vigorous to get your heart rate up, he suggested running up and down stairs, but running around the house, or any type of aerobics exercise will do. Then immediately go and play. This will give you that nervous, sweaty sensation and if you can play through that, you'll generally have a good audition.

No matter how well prepared I am for an audition, I still get sweaty hands while playing!

Last is to just have fun! If you have fun, the adjudicators will have fun listening to you.
