2005 Pulitzer Prizes Winners Announced

The 2005 Pulitzer Prizes have been announced. More than 2,000 entries are submitted each year in the Pulitzer Prize competitions, and only 21 awards are normally made. The awards are the culmination of a year-long process that begins early in the year with the appointment of 102 distinguished judges who serve on 20 separate juries and are asked to make three nominations in each of the 21 categories. A list of the winners can be found below. The Pulitzer Prize website offers more information about each award and each individual award winner.
