New Article Competition: Top ex-US Stock Pick

Seeking Alpha’s Editorial Team is excited to announce our next article competition: Top ex-US Stock Pick!

Competition: Top ex-US Stock Pick

For this competition, we are looking for an analysis of a foreign company – that trades on the U.S. or Canadian exchange, for which Seeking Alpha has a stock page – that you believe will outperform the market over the coming months and year. The thesis can be going long, or selling the stock short. Please note, that U.S. companies are excluded from this competition, as the focus is on non-U.S. companies.

Entry Period:

The contest begins today and will be open until Nov. 7 at 11:59 p.m. EST. The winner will be announced within two weeks of the close date.

Prizes:

As we’ve done with other contests, three winners – chosen by a team of editors, based primarily on compellingness and independent insights – will each receive a monetary award. First place will receive an award of $1,000, second place will receive $750, and third place will receive $500. All three articles will be featured to SA’s PRO subscribers.

The first place winner will also receive the opportunity to speak directly with Seeking Alpha Founder and CEO David Jackson, as well as the option to be interviewed in our Seeking Alpha PRO Monthly Interview series.

Contest Guidelines:

All contest entries should conform to SA article submission guidelines. In general, we’re most interested in analysis that’s actionable, well-supported, and detailed. Specifically, we’re looking for the following:

1) The article should present a clear and compelling thesis that highlights why a stock is undervalued (long) or overvalued (short) and why it could be a big winner over the coming months and year.

2) The article should focus on a stock that is tradable in the United States or Canada, for which Seeking Alpha has a stock page. Again, the focus of the competition is highlighting foreign companies (non-U.S.). Also, to avoid obscure and/or illiquid investments, we ask that all stocks have a minimum of $200,000 in average trading volume.

Micro-cap stocks are eligible, but are subject to more scrutinous publication standards (see our policy here).

3) The article should include sections on valuation and risks.

4) All financial data/visuals presented in the article should be in the form of screenshots from Seeking Alpha’s screeners, links to any news/filings (if available), or using YCharts, which is located on the far right side of the toolbar.

*We are accepting a maximum of 2 entries per contributor.

Next Steps:

Please submit your article as you normally would, via the submissions form. Only “Exclusive” articles will be eligible for the competition.

IMPORTANT: Please leave a “Note to the editor” comment requesting that your article be considered for the Top ex-US Stock Pick competition. The “Note to the editor” field is on the last page prior to the final submission. Without that note, your article won’t be entered into the competition.

Best of luck! If you have any questions regarding the contest, please contact the Contributor Success Team directly at contributors@seekingalpha.com.
