The Pulitzer Prizes
普利策奖

The Pulitzer Prize is an award for achievements in newspaper and online journalism, literature, and musical composition in the United States. It was established in 1917 by provisions in the will of American (Hungarian-born) publisher Joseph Pulitzer, and is administered by Columbia University in New York City. Prizes are awarded yearly in twenty-one categories. In twenty of the categories, each winner receives a certificate and a US$10,000 cash award. The winner in the public service category of the journalism competition is awarded a gold medal. John Kennedy is the first and only Pulitzer winner among all the presidents of the United States.
普利策奖是奖励美国报业、在线新闻、文学和音乐作曲等领域杰出成就的奖项，1917年根据匈牙利裔美国报业巨头约瑟夫·普利策的遗愿设立，并由纽约哥伦比亚大学管理。奖项每年颁发，有21类，其中的20类奖项获得者可得到一张证书和一万美元的现金奖励。普利策新闻竞赛类优异公众服务奖获得者还将被授予金质奖章。约翰·肯尼迪是首个也是唯一获得普利策奖的美国总统。

The Pulitzer Prize does not automatically consider all applicable works in the media, but only those that have specifically entered. (There is a $50 entry fee, paid for each desired entry category.) Entries must fit in at least one of the specific prize categories and works can also only be entered in a maximum of two categories. Each year, 102 judges are selected, by the Pulitzer Prize Board, to serve on 20 separate juries for the 21 award categories. Most juries consist of five members, except for those for public service, investigative reporting, feature writing and commentary categories, which have seven members. For each award category, a jury makes three nominations. The board selects the winner by majority vote from the nominations, or 75% majority vote bypasses the nominations and selects a different entry.
普利策奖的评选对象是那些针对性申请的作品，而非所有适用媒体作品。申请入围者还为每一个竞赛单元缴纳50美元的费用。入围作品必须至少符合一项特定的评选单元，且至多参加两个单元的评选。每年普利策奖评委会会选出102位评委，分成20个评委团，审阅总共21类奖项候选作品。除了公共服务奖、调查性报道奖、特稿写作奖和社论写作奖等需要7位评委组成一个评审团，其他大多数评审团只有5位评委。每一个单元中，评审团会选出3个提名者。最后评委会以最高票数选出最后的获胜者，或者以75%的多数票决议否定之前的提名，重新开始评选。
