The first Nobel Prize Award Ceremony took place on December 10, 1901. Nobel Prize is one of the most prestigious awards in many fields of human knowledge and literature. It is widely known as the highest distinction for human intelligence (not only because of financial rewards, which now exceeds $ 225,000). In addition, this award is known not only to every scientist, but also to a large number of average people.
Nobel Prize is awarded annually in six categories (Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, Peace, Physics, Economic Sciences) from a fund bequeathed for that purpose by Alfred Nobel. He was a Swedish scientist famous for its discoveries and patents in different fields of science. As one of the best-known discoveries was dynamite Nobel didn’t want “to leave a bitter legacy after his death”, in his will he set aside his estate to establish the Nobel Prizes to be awarded without distinction of nationality. After Nobel’s death, the Nobel Foundation was set up to carry out the provisions of his will and to administer his funds.
Each year, thousands of members of academies, university professors, scientists, previous Nobel Laureates and members of parliamentary assemblies and others, are asked to submit candidates for the Nobel Prizes for the coming year. These nominators are chosen in such a way that as many countries and universities as possible are represented over time.
After receiving all nominations, the Nobel Committees of the four prize awarding institutions are responsible for the selection of the candidates. The institutions are the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences for the Nobel Prize in Physics and Chemistry, Karolinska Institutet for the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, the Swedish Academy for the Nobel Prize in Literature, and a Committee of five persons to be elected by the Norwegian Parliament (Storting) for the Nobel Peace Prize.
On 10 December – Nobel Day – award ceremonies normally take place in both Stockholm, Sweden, and Oslo, Norway. At the Stockholm Concert Hall, the winners in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature and economic sciences receive a medal from the King of Sweden, as well as a diploma and a cash award. The ceremony is followed by a gala banquet at Stockholm City Hall. No banquet in 2020, though, but the award ceremonies are streamed on the Nobel Prize website. The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded in Oslo City Hall on the same day.
