Pulitzer Prize: Pulitzer Prize Board
built 655 days ago
The Pulitzer Prize Board distinguishes between "entrants" and "nominated finalists": An "entrant" is simply someone whose work has been submitted for consideration according to the Board's "Plan of Award"; any individual may submit an entry [4][5]. "Nominated finalists" are those selected by the juries and (since 1980) announced along with the winner for each category.[6] Only nominated finalists may properly be referred to as Pulitzer Prize "nominees." [7]
Following is the full text of the Pulitzer Prize Board's statement concerning its decision not to revoke the 1932 Pulitzer Prize awarded to Walter Duranty of The New York Times. The statement was issued on November 21.

Controversy has ... surrounded the Pulitzer Prize in Music in other ways. The 1992 panel, who was instructed to recommend three works to the Pulitzer Board, recommended only one work: Ralph Shapey's Concerto Fantastique. They unanimously deemed this to be the finest work of the year. The Pulitzer Board, however, did not agree that this work was worthy of their prize, and instead asked the jury to recommend another work. Wayne Peterson's The Face of Night was then chosen by the jury and accepted by the board. While this is the only such occurrence in music, it is not unheard of for a decision to be overturned in Pulitzer Prizes for other disciplines.

The Pulitzer Prize, the highest award in journalism, was announced today at 3 PM at the Columbia Journalism School. The winners are decided by a board of distinguished figures in journalism and at the University.
A subcommittee of the Pulitzer Board has been reviewing the prize won by writer Walter Duranty for his series on Russia. The review was sparked by complaints that Duranty deliberately ignored in later coverage the forced famine in the Ukraine that killed millions of people.
The prize was established by Joseph Pulitzer, a Hungarian-American journalist and newspaper publisher, who left money to Columbia University upon his death in 1911. A portion of his bequest was used to found the university's journalism school in 1912. The first Pulitzer Prizes were awarded on June 4, 1917, and they are now announced each April. Recipients are chosen by an independent board.
