Originally established in 1917 by provisions in the will of Joseph Pulitzer, the Pulitzer Prize is a yearly award for achievements in writing and music over 21 categories. Works must be entered to be considered, and may be considered for up to two categories.
The Pulitzer Prize for Fiction is one of the original Pulitzers included in the program's inauguration, though no prize for Novel was awarded until 1918.
