Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning

The Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning is an annual award that honors outstanding cartoonists who create editorial cartoons—humorous or satirical illustrations that comment on current events, politics, or social issues. This prestigious prize, part of the Pulitzer Prizes established in 1917, recognizes the power of visual art to provoke thought, stimulate discussion, and influence public opinion. Winners are selected based on their ability to convey complex ideas and emotions through their drawings, often using humor and wit to engage readers and highlight important subjects in society.
