American Mosaic Journalism Prize

The American Mosaic Journalism Prize is a journalism prize awarded annually to two freelance journalists "for excellence in long-form, narrative, or deep reporting on stories about underrepresented and/or misrepresented groups in the present American landscape". The award is given by the Heising-Simons Foundation, a family foundation based in Los Altos and San Francisco, California.

The American Mosaic Journalism Prize was created in 2018 by the Heising-Simons Foundation. The winners are selected by ten judges who receive nominations from a confidential network of nominators. Winners are awarded an unrestricted cash prize of $100,000 each, making it larger than the Pulitzer Prize cash award (which is $15,000).

The American Mosaic Journalism Prize was directed by Brian Eule, Director of Journalism and Communications at the Heising-Simons Foundation until September 2024. Eule returned to the Heising-Simons Foundation in January 2026 as President and CEO. Past judges include Wesley Lowery (2018-2025), Katherine Boo (2022-2025), Hannah Allam (2018, 2019, 2021, 2022), Stephanie Foo (2020, 2023, 2024), Sam Freedman (2019, 2020), Farai Chideya (2023), Cindi Leive (2022), Mirta Ojito (2019, 2021), Sewell Chan (2024, 2025), Rose Arce (2024), Alexis Madrigal (2024), Kevin Merida (2025), and Antonia Hylton (2019-2025), among others.
