ABOUT THE PRIZE |
||||||||
About The Pulitzer PrizeEstablished in 1917 by publisher Joseph Pulitzer, the Pulitzer Prize is now awarded in 21 categories, including investigative reporting, news photography, drama, poetry, music, and others. It continues to be the most coveted honor in journalism. Yet while many publications have been written on the topic of the Pulitzer Prizes, none has provided basic factual information on all of the winners. More than 1,300 individuals have received this honor from 1917 through 2005.
When discussing the Pulitzer Prize it is important to understand the following Pulitzer Prize terminology: A Pulitzer Prize Winner may be an individual, a group of individuals, or a newspaper's staff. Nominated Finalists are selected by the Nominating Juries for each category as finalists in the competition. The Pulitzer Prize Board, selected from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, generally selects the Pulitzer Prize Winners from the three nominated finalists in each category. The names of nominated finalists have been announced only since 1980. Work that has been submitted for Prize consideration but not chosen as either a nominated finalist or a winner is termed an entry or submission. No information on entrants is provided. The Public Service prize is always awarded to a newspaper, not an individual, although an individual may be named in the citation. The Pulitzer Prize Board may elect to bestow No Award in a category in any given year. On rare occasions The Pulitzer Prize Board will award a Special Award or Citation to a work or an individual of particular merit.
