Originally, there were six classifications for outstanding contributions designated in Nobel’s will including chemistry, physics, medicine, literature, and international peace.
    The prizes are administrated by the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm. In 1969, a prize for economics endowed by the Central Bank of Sweden was added. Candidates for the prizes must be nominated in writing by qualified authority in the field of competition. Recipients are selected by their respective institutions. The prizes are usually presented in Stockholm on December 10, with the King of Sweden officiating, an appropriate tribute to Alfred Nobel on the anniversary of his death.
