Who Chooses the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize Winner?

The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize will be announced on October 10, with 338 individuals and organizations nominated for the prestigious award.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee, composed of five members appointed by Norway’s parliament, makes the final decision after reviewing nominations, consulting permanent advisers, and seeking expert opinions.

Eligible nominees include anyone advancing peace, reducing armies, or fostering international cooperation. Although U.S. President Donald Trump was nominated by leaders of Cambodia, Israel, and Pakistan, experts note that his policies would need to change substantially to align with the prize’s values.

The laureate receives a medal, a diploma, 11 million Swedish crowns ($1.19 million), and worldwide recognition, highlighting their contributions to global peace and humanitarian efforts.
