The Pulitzer Prizes for 1980 were announced on April 14, 1980.[1] A total of 1,550 entries were submitted for prizes in 19 categories of journalism and the arts.[2] Finalists were chosen by expert juries in each category, and winners were then chosen by the 16-member Pulitzer Prize Board, presided over by Clayton Kirkpatrick.[3] For the first time in the Prizes' history, juries were asked to name at least three finalists in each category, and the finalists were announced in addition to the winners.[2][4] Each prize carried a $1,000 award, except for the Public Service prize, which came with a gold medal.[3]

The winner in each category is listed first, in bold, followed by the other finalists.
