About prize
The Nobel Peace Prize was first awarded in 1901. There have been years when no winner was announced in this category, most recently in 1972. This was due to the World Wars, disagreements among committee members, and a lack of worthy candidates.
The award ceremony will take place in Oslo on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death.
This year, the prize will be complemented by 11 million kroner (approximately $1.17 million).
Nobel Week began on October 6. The winners of the prizes in medicine, physics, chemistry, and literature have already been announced.
