The Pulitzer Prizes[1] (/ˈpʊlɪtsər/[2]) are two-dozen annual awards given by Columbia University in New York for achievements in the United States in "journalism, arts and letters." They were established in 1917 by the will of Joseph Pulitzer, who had made his fortune as a newspaper publisher.[3]

Each winner receives a certificate and USD 15,000 in cash,[5] except in the Public Service category where a gold medal is awarded.[6][7]
