The Nobel Peace Prize is one of the most prestigious global awards, given annually to individuals and organizations for their significant contributions toward promoting peace, resolving conflicts, and supporting humanitarian causes. Established in 1895 by Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel, the award has recognized countless efforts in making the world a more peaceful place.
Since the first award in 1901, the Nobel Peace Prize has been a symbol of dedication to world peace. Recipients of this prize receive a gold medal, a diploma, and prize money (which in 2023 was approximately 11 million Swedish kronor or around $1 million). The prize can also be awarded posthumously if the recipient dies after being selected, and both individuals and organizations are eligible.
