Tuesday's your last chance to enter the investment contest of the year

If you've ever wanted to run your ideas by some of the world's leading investors, now is your chance.

A panel of all-star judges - including Bill Ackman, David Einhorn, Joel Greenblatt, Seth Klarman, and Michael Price - will once again judge the Sohn Conference Foundation's annual investment competition.

You have until Tuesday at 5 pm to enter.

The contest is open to any individual with a stellar investment thesis. You can pitch any marketable security, long or short, with a market cap of $1 billion or more.

Last year, a Columbia Business School student beat out money managers and other industry experts to win first place. He pitched Fiat and argued it was undervalued.

The winner of the contest, which stops accepting entries on Tuesday, gets to present his or her idea at the high-profile conference - one of the biggest annual events for hedge fund professionals. Held in partnership with Bloomberg, the conference is a chance for industry pros to come together and share ideas and stock picks.

At last year's conference, Zach Schreiber, CEO of PointState Capital, predicted the oil crash, saying, "It's going lower, much lower." He later made $1 billion from that call.

This year's conference takes place May 4 in New York.
