Overview

• The week opens with Physiology or Medicine on Monday, followed by Physics on Tuesday, Chemistry on Wednesday, Literature on Thursday, the Peace Prize on Friday in Oslo, and Economics the following Monday.
• Each category carries 11 million Swedish kronor, now roughly one million euros due to a stronger krona.
• Official nominee lists stay sealed for five decades, though public claims by some nominators persist, including assertions that US President Donald Trump was put forward by Israel's prime minister and Pakistan's government.
• No more than three laureates can share a prize in any category, requiring a split of the award money if applicable.
• Created by Alfred Nobel’s will and first awarded in 1901, the prizes are formally presented each year on December 10.
