The Nobel Prizes are awarded by different countries depending on the category of the prize. The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded in Norway, specifically in Oslo. All the other Nobel Prizes, such as those for Literature, Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, and Economic Sciences, are awarded in Sweden, mainly in Stockholm. This arrangement follows the will of Alfred Nobel, the founder of the Nobel Prize. So, in summary:
- Nobel Peace Prize: Awarded in Norway.
- All other Nobel Prizes: Awarded in Sweden.
This distinction is unique to the Nobel Prizes and reflects Nobel’s instructions in his will.
