Letters for the writing contest may be written in English and/or Spanish and should address one of the Pulitzer Centre’s five focus issues: Climate and Environment, Global Health, Human Rights, Information and Artificial Intelligence, and Peace and Conflict.

Prizes include $300 for first place winners, $75 for finalists, and publication on the Pulitzer Centre’s website.
