Every year, the Nobel Prize announcements put scientists, writers and peace advocates in the spotlight. Yet, one detail sets the Nobel Peace Prize apart from the others. the Peace Prize ceremony takes place in neighbouring Norway While the other Nobel awards are presented in Sweden. The distinction dates back to the wishes of Alfred Nobel, the Swedish inventor who established the prestigious awards in his will.
The Nobel Peace Prize, meanwhile, is presented at Oslo City Hall in Norway. All the awards are traditionally presented on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel’s death in 1896.
The different locations are part of the arrangements set out in Nobel’s will, according to the official Nobel Prize website .
He assigned the responsibility for the other original prizes to Swedish institutions. Yes. The Norwegian Nobel Committee selects the Nobel Peace Prize laureate, while separate Swedish institutions choose the recipients in the other categories. The committee is elected by Norway’s parliament, although its members are responsible for making the award decision.
In his will, signed in 1895, Nobel specified that the Peace Prize should be awarded by a committee selected by Norway’s parliament, known as the Storting.
