The Pulitzer Prizes

The Pulitzer Prizes are annual awards for achievements in American creativity in a wide array of fields.

The prizes have been awarded by Columbia University since 1917, on the recommendation of a Pulitzer Prize Board.

Fourteen prizes are given in journalism. Prizes in letters are for fiction, history, poetry, biography or autobiography, and general nonfiction.
