2013 Pulitzer Prizes winners to be announced today
USA
Winners of the 2013 Pulitzer Prizes, awarded for excellence in newspaper journalism, literary achievements and musical composition, will be announced today in New York City at 3 pm local time.
Prizes are awarded annually in 21 categories.
In 20 of those categories the winners receive a $10,000 cash award and a certificate. Only the winner in the Public Service category of the Journalism competition is awarded a gold medal.
This year the winners will receive their Prizes at a luncheon held on May 30th on the Columbia University campus in New York City, the Pulitzer Prizes’ web-site is saying.
The award was established at the beginning of the 20th century, when newspaper publisher Joseph Pulitzer drew up his will, granting two million dollars to Columbia University in New York City to launch a journalism school and establish the Prize. Pulitzer died in 1911 and the first winners were announced already in 1917.
US President John F. Kennedy was awarded the 1957 Pulitzer Prize in Biography for his book “Profiles in Courage”.
