Pulitzer Prize
The Pulitzer Prize was established in accordance with the will of Joseph Pultizer, a visionary newspaper publisher of the nineteenth century, and was first awarded in 1917.
Prizes have since been awarded in the four categories of Journalism, Letters, Drama and Music; due to Pulitzer's foresight, the Board have the power to modify the awards criteria in order to remain current.
