How to Enter the Awards
We’re looking for content that goes the extra mile—investment content that inspires, provokes thought, and action. We want the reader to have practical and feasible actions to take away from the content they consume.
Content submitted will be ranked as part of our four-stage scoring system, which forms the minimum basis for consideration. The criteria focus on the following core principles of thought leadership:
- Topicality: Is it relevant and timely? Does it connect with the current investor context?
- Structure, Clarity, and Presentation: Is it well-organized, clear, and with a logical flow? Does it avoid jargon and ambiguous writing? Does it tell a clear story?
- Actionable and Impactful: Are there practical takeaways and recommendations for better industry practices, showcasing compelling thinking and commentary?
- Differentiated and Evidenced: Does the content base its commentary on evidence, credible data, and fact-checked thinking? Is it presented in sufficient depth? Does it follow arguments through to feasible conclusions?
You can submit entries for all categories except the Members’ Choice, which will be voted for by a judging panel of Savvy Investor members.
Submission Deadlines
The awards are officially open for entries from September 1, 2024, until October 2, 2024.
