THE Pulitzer Award considered the greatest honor of journalism, announced the winners of the 2025 edition on Monday (5). Despite having 15 awards dedicated to journalism, literature and theater, the ceremony also highlights the Pulitzer Music Award .
Announced in 1943, the category statuette was granted to a pop artist for the first time in 2018, with the victory of “Damn”, album Kendrick Lamar. Prior to that, recognition has always been granted to a scholar or jazz musician.
This year, the song “Sky Islands” of the American composer Susie Ibarra won the Music pulitzer . By introducing the trail as one of the nominees, the prize also classifies the work on ecosystems and biodiversity that “challenges the notion of compositional voice by intertwining the deep musicality and improvisation skills of a soloist as a creative tool.”
In the category, the songs were also present George Lewis’s “The Comet” and “Jim is Still Crowing” , by Jalalu Kalvert Nelson.
