Pulitzer Prize Fiction
About the award
The Pulitzer Prize for Fiction is awarded annually to a distinguished American author who has preferably written about American life. The winner receives a cash award of $10,000 and a certificate. For many of the writers, the cash prize is not the incentive. Instead, it is the prestige that is acquired from becoming a recipient.
Approximately 1,000 entries are submitted each year at a charge of $50, which goes towards the funding of the cash prize. A panel of judges are selected, consisting of distinguished members of the field. The judges shortlist 3 entries which are then voted on by the Pulitzer board at a conference in April at the Columbia School of Journalism. The winner is selected by the board's majority vote and announced at 3pm a few days after the deliberations.
The Prize aims to promote excellence in American writing, showcasing texts which deal with the American way of life in an exceptional manner. The judges' selection is based upon how well the text is written and how the subject is dealt with.
