Through a competitive application process, eighteen public libraries will be selected to host the traveling exhibit for a six-week period in 2027 and 2028. Read the project guidelines and apply online by March 27, 2026.
In 2023, The Pulitzer Prizes launched Pulitzer on the Road, a public programming initiative that celebrates prize-winners and their work with audiences around the country through live events, a podcast and exhibits. As part of this initiative, Pulitzer on the Road: Prize-Winning Works that Inform, Empower & Inspire will tour at public libraries across the United States.
During their host periods, the selected eighteen libraries will be required to implement public programs related to the exhibit's themes.
Selected libraries will receive:
- The 1,400-square-foot exhibition on loan for roughly six weeks;
- A $3,000 allowance to support public programs;
- Customizable publicity materials and media training;
- Ongoing support from The Pulitzer Prizes and the ALA, and more.
Grantees must meet minimum programming and reporting requirements. See the project guidelines for details.
Eligible institutions include public libraries (including tribal libraries and state libraries) in the United States and U.S. territories. Individuals are not eligible to apply. Refer to the project's Frequently Asked Questions page for additional information.
Pulitzer on the Road: Prize-Winning Works that Inform, Empower & Inspire is a collaboration between The Pulitzer Prizes and the American Library Association.
