Please learn how to use apostrophes properly. When used with nouns, they\'re for possessives only. Never for plurals unless they\'re also possessives.

* On ''Series/{{Supergirl}}'' James "Jimmy" Olson won a Pulitzer for his iconic photo of a flying Superman. He tries to downplay it by explaining that he only won the award because it was one of the first photo's taken of Superman and that Superman actually posed for that photo rather than it being taken spontaneously. Nevertheless, the photo is quite stunning and it is easy to see why it would be considered an iconic representation of Superman.

The Pulitzer Prizes were founded in 1917 by Joseph Pulitzer, a Hungarian-American who immigrated to the United States in 1864 and rose from poverty to become a newspaper magnate, publishing the ''St. Louis Post-Dispatch'' (still the daily paper of St. Louis, Missouri) and ''New York World''. In his will Pulitzer specified, among other things, "four awards in journalism, four in letters and drama, one in education". The Pulitzer Prize today is given in 21 different categories, most of which still pertain to journalism, reporting, and non-fiction writing.

On occasion prizes which have been awarded by the relevant committee have been rejected by the full Pulitzer board. Novels which were approved by the committee for Fiction but rejected by the Pulitzer board include ''Literature/ForWhomTheBellTolls'' (1941) and ''Literature/GravitysRainbow'' (1974). Creator/ArtSpiegelman gave the graphic novel format a major shot of credibility when his MagnumOpus, ''ComicBook/{{Maus}}'', won a special category prize. And while it's not listed below, it's fun to know that newspaper reporter Janet Cooke had to give back her 1981 Pulitzer for feature writing, "Jimmy's World" (about an eight-year-old heroin addict) after it was revealed that she made the whole story up.
When Pulitzers are mentioned in fictional works, they are often used to get an InformedAbility across, to let the audience know that the character is a great writer or IntrepidReporter.

The Pulitzer Prizes were founded in 1917 by Joseph Pulitzer, a Hungarian-American who immigrated to the United States in 1864 and rose from poverty to become a newspaper magnate, publishing the ''St. Louis Post-Dispatch'' (still the daily paper of St. Louis, Missouri) and ''New York World''. In his will Pulitzer specified, among other things, "four awards in journalism, four in letters and drama, one in education". The Pulitzer Prize today is given in 21 different categories, most of which still pertain to journalism, reporting, and non-fiction writing. This wiki will list the Pulitzer Prizes in three creative arts categories: drama (namely, [[{{Theatre}} theater]]), fiction, and poetry. The Pulitzer Prizes are given exclusively to [[{{Eagleland}} Americans]], and the creative works they honor are preferred to be ones dealing with American life. The prizes are administered by Columbia University.
On occasion prizes which have been awarded by the relevant committee have been rejected by the full Pulitzer board. Novels which were approved by the committee for Fiction but rejected by the Pulitzer board include ''Literature/ForWhomTheBellTolls'' (1941) and ''Literature/GravitysRainbow'' (1974). Creator/ArtSpiegelman gave the graphic novel format a major shot of credibility when his MagnumOpus, ''ComicBook/{{Maus}}'', won a special category prize. And while it's not listed below, it's fun to know that newspaper reporter Janet Cooke had to give back her 1981 Pulitzer for feature writing, "Jimmy's World" (about an eight-year-old heroin addict) after it was revealed that she made the whole story up.
When Pulitzers are mentioned in fictional works, they are often used to get an InformedAbility across, to let the audience know that the character is a great writer or IntrepidReporter.
