how often do they give out nobel prizes

The Nobel Prizes are awarded annually. The awards ceremony typically takes place on December 10, the anniversary of Alfred Nobel's death. The Nobel Prizes include categories for physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, peace, and economic sciences. Each year, laureates who have made outstanding contributions are honored across these fields, except in extraordinary circumstances such as wars, when the prizes may not be awarded. The selection and announcement process happens through the year, with laureates typically being announced in October.
