Pulitzer Prize Non-Fiction
About the award
The Pulitzer Prize for Nonfiction is awarded annually to a 'distinguished and appropriately documented book of nonfiction by an American author'. 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.
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 nonfiction writing, showcasing texts that deal with their subjects in an exceptional and informative manner.
