Dividend growth stocks with strongest earnings growth at low market price ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". 

Dividend Contenders are the following class of the  Dividend Champions league. Contenders raised dividend payments over a period of 10-25 years without a break. Most of them have a huge potential to become a solid Dividend Champion.
