Established during world War II, in 1942, they started with a general category called „Photography“, covering all kinds of pictures.

This volume at first presents the decision-making processes leading to the annual Pulitzer Prize winners. In addition, in each case one award-earing photo is reproduced to give an idea about the broad spectrum of aspects and themes declared prize-worthy by the jurors.
