The Nobel Peace Prize award ceremony will take place in person in Oslo in December.
The Nobel Peace Prize award ceremony, which was held online in 2020 due to the pandemic, will be held in person this year in Oslo in December, the Nobel Committee announced on Tuesday.
“The two Nobel Peace Prize laureates, Maria Ressa and Dimitri Mouratov, and the representative of last year’s laureate, the World Food Program, will be present,” he told the AFP by email the secretary of the Norwegian Nobel committee, Olav Njolstad.
On October 8, the prestigious award went to two investigative journalists, Maria Ressa from the Philippines and Dimitri Mouratov from Russia, recognizing for the first time the role of the independent press.
The gala ceremony is traditionally held on December 10, the anniversary of the award’s founder Alfred Nobel’s death in 1896.
On the same day, a second ceremony takes place in Stockholm, to present the awards for Medicine, Physics, Chemistry, Literature and Economics.
These awards will be awarded to the laureates in their country of origin, due to the pandemic, according to the Nobel Foundation. (I)
