Thousands of people, including university professors, members of governments and parliaments, past laureates, are allowed to nominate candidates for the Peace Prize. 

The final decision is taken by the Norwegian Nobel Committee.

Nominations for this year's award closed on January 31 and the winner will be announced on October 9 in Oslo.
