Can You Nominate Yourself for a Nobel Prize ?
- No ,You Can not nominate yourself for Nobel prize
- Nominations for the four most technical Nobel categories — physics, chemistry, medicine and economic sciences — are exclusively by invitation only by its own standing committee.
- Each Nobel Committee creates a shortlist of finalists, after consulting with experts, which is then sent to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. The Academy then votes by majority for the winners of the Nobel Prizes in physics, chemistry, medicine, and the economic sciences. The decisions are final.
- The literature committee, sends out its own invitations for nominees, but other “qualified persons” are also welcome to submit names for consideration. Qualified persons include professors of literature or linguistics at colleges and universities, and presidents of national literary societies. The winner of the literature prize is selected by the 18 members of the Swedish Academy, who are all prominent Swedish writers, literary scholars and historians.
- No nomination invitations are sent out for the peace prize. But that doesn’t mean anyone can nominate anybody. You have to be a “qualified nominator” to submit names. People who fit that bill include members of The Hague, government ministers or former Nobel Peace Prize winners, but also university professors in fields like the social sciences, law, philosophy and religion, and directors of peace research institutes
- The winner of the peace prize is chosen by Norwegians, not Swedes. In his will Alfred Nobel specified that the peace prize would be selected by a five-person committee chosen by the Norwegian Parliament. That’s why the peace prize alone is awarded in a ceremony in Oslo, while the rest are conferred at ceremonies in Stockholm.
