Who can win the Pulitzer Prize?

The Pulitzer and Nobel Prizes are two different awards. The Pulitzer Prize is given annually to journalists, photographers, authors, poets and musicians for a recently published (or performed) work that is considered excellent.

The Nobel Prizes span many different categories, but the one most similar to a Pulitzer is the Nobel Prize for Literature. This is more like a lifetime achievement award, and is given for a collection of writing produced over time, not for a single book.

When was Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning created?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Pulitzer Prize Board added an Editorial Cartoon category in 1922. Most of the winners have been single-panel illustrations, but the Board deviated from their usual pattern twice, selecting syndicated comic strips instead of standard editorial cartoons.

The first comic strip to win a Pulitzer was Doonesbury, in 1975, written and drawn by Garry Trudeau (Universal Press Syndicate). Berke Breathed (The Washington Post Writers Group) won the second Pulitzer for his syndicated comic, Bloom County, in 1987.

What awards did Harper Lee win for her novel To Kill a Mockingbird?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Harper Lee won a Pulitzer Prize in 1961 for her novel, To Kill a Mockingbird.

The Pulitzer Prize is awarded for literary, musical composition, newspaper, and journalism achievements.

The novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, received a Pulitzer prize. It was Harper Lee's only novel. It won something greater than just the Pulitzer, immortality as it will live on forever in the banes of American literature as one of the greatest novels of the 20th century.

The most distinguished prize the book has won is the Pulitzer Prize (although it has certainly been lavished with countless others). Most recently, librarians across America gave the book the highest of honors by voting it the best novel of the twentieth century.

The movie version was ranked 25th on the American Film Institute (AFI) 's list of the greatest American movies of all time, and number one on AFI's list of best courtroom films. In 2003, AFI named Atticus Finch the greatest movie hero of the century! The film was nominated for 8 academy awards, three of which it won; Best Actor (Gregory Peck), Best Adapted Screenplay (Horton Foote), and Best Art Decoration. It also won three Golden Globe Awards: Best Actor (Gregory Peck), Best Original Score (Elmer Bernstein), and Best Film Promoting International Understanding.

It won Pulitzer Prize, Golden Globe awards, Academy Awards, and more.

It got the Pulitzer Prize one year after it was published. It was published in 1960 and won this prize in 1961.

To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee's classic tale of racism and redemption in the South, won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1961.

Who refused Pulitzer Prize in 1926 for novel Arrowsmith?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Sinclair Lewis refused to accept the 1926 Pulitzer Prize for his novel, Arrowsmith, because he believed the Pulitzer should be awarded for works that "celebrate American wholesomeness," while Lewis' books were negative and critical. He resisted the idea of being constrained by a form of social contract that might seek to dilute his work.

Lewis wrote to the Pulitzer Prize Board: "Every compulsion is put upon writers to become safe, polite, obedient, and sterile. In protest, I declined election to the National Institute of Arts and Letters some years ago, and now I must decline the Pulitzer Prize."

Ironically, the protagonist of the book, Dr. Martin Arrowsmith, also struggled with the conflict between idealism and commercialism. After declining the Pulitzer Prize, Lewis asked his agent to try to "pull strings" for a Nobel Prize in Literature, which he subsequently won in 1930 for "for his vigorous and graphic art of description and his ability to create, with wit and humour, new types of characters."
