Established 111 years ago by Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite.
Given in the categories of literature, peace, medicine, physics, chemistry and economics.
The prize for economics is technically not a Nobel but a 1968 creation of Sweden’s Central Bank.
Winners get a cheque of 10 mln Kroner ($1.37 mn), handshakes with Scandinavian royalty, and a banquet on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel’s death in 1896.
All prizes are handed over in Stockholm except for the peace prize which is presented in Oslo.
