The Pulitzer Prize (/ˈpʊlɪtsər/[1]) is an award administered by Columbia University for achievements in newspaper, magazine, online journalism, literature, and musical composition in the United States. It was established in 1917 by provisions in the will of Joseph Pulitzer, who had made his fortune as a newspaper publisher.[2]

As of 2023, prizes are awarded annually in 23 categories.[3] In 22 of the categories, each winner receives a certificate and a US$15,000 cash award, raised from $10,000 in 2017.[4] The winner in the public service category is awarded a gold medal.[5][6]
