Nobel Peace Prize Nomination Process

The nomination process involves a rigorous and lengthy review procedure. Nominations for the award are accepted until January 31 each year, with the submission period typically starting in mid-October.

After the deadline, nominations are handed over to the Nobel Committee in mid-February for evaluation. The Committee then reviews all valid nominations and prepares a shortlist of candidates for further examination. Expert reports from permanent advisers and international experts are taken into account during this phase.

The Committee conducts regular deliberations from mid-February through September, gradually narrowing down the list of candidates. Finally, the Norwegian Nobel Committee makes the decision on who will receive the prestigious honor. The Nobel Peace Prize laureate is officially announced on the Friday of the first full week of October.
