It’s that time of the year in Scandinavia when the wind turns colder, the days get shorter and academics in Stockholm and Oslo grab the world spotlight as they announce the winners of the Nobel Prizes.
The Nobel Peace Prize 2024 will be announced at a press conference tomorrow on Friday 11 October 11:00 am (CEST), at the Norwegian Nobel Institute in Oslo. It will be the first announcement by the youngest chair in the history of the Nobel Peace Prize, Jørgen Watne Frydnes (39).
To win a Nobel, one must be nominated first. This year, the Nobel Peace Prize, arguably the most watched award of the six on offer, had 286 nominations – 197 individuals and 89 organisations.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee is responsible for the selection of eligible candidates and the choice of the Nobel Peace Prize laureates. The Committee is composed of five members appointed by the Storting (Norwegian parliament).
The announcements will be streamed live at nobelprize.org and the Nobel Prize YouTube channel.
Let’s celebrate those making our world more peaceful, step by step. 🌍✌️ #NobelPeacePrize2024 #ForPeace #NobelAnnouncements #PeaceMatters #GlobalSolidarity
