13. What do Pulitzer Prizewinners get when they win?
There are 21 Pulitzer categories. In 20 of those categories the winners receive a $10,000 cash award and a certificate. Only the winner in the Public Service category of the Journalism competition is awarded a gold medal. The Public Service prize is always awarded to a newspaper, not an individual, although an individual may be named in the citation.
so, there's your answer. $10,000 and a certificate. no plauge. wink

glad to hear you're writing again, ML. party

When in doubt, think about penguins. It probably won't help, but at least it'll be fun.
