year: first, when the winner is announced in October and, second, when it is presented at a formal ceremony in December. Unlike the Nobel prizes for medicine, chemistry, physics, literature and economics which are all awarded in Stockholm, Sweden, the peace prize is given out in Oslo, Norway, in accordance with Alfred Nobel&#8217;s famous will of 1895.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, lora, serif; font-size: 21px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 34px; letter-spacing: -0.001em; margin-bottom: 34px;\">The award ceremony is just one of a series of Nobel Peace Prize events that take place in Oslo each December. The program also includes a formal banquet, news conference, museum exhibition, academic forum, torchlight procession through the city, and globally-televised pop concert. Over the course of three full days, heads of state, diplomats, humanitarians, celebrities and activists come together for what has become the world&#8217;s highest-profile gathering of international peace leaders.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-3reoeg-e4d92d6227903380cb46d6b7b05bfcf0\">\n#top .flex_column_table.av-equal-height-column-flextable.av-3reoeg-e4d92d6227903380cb46d6b7b05bfcf0{\nmargin-top:0px;\nmargin-bottom:0px;\n}\n.flex_column.av-3reoeg-e4d92d6227903380cb46d6b7b05bfcf0{\npadding:0 30px 0 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-3reoeg-e4d92d6227903380cb46d6b7b05bfcf0 av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-21  el_after_av_three_fifth  el_before_av_hr  no_margin flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-top  '     ><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.

Invitations are sent to the cultural and political leaders of Norway and to members of the diplomatic corps, who typically fill the first rows of the hall. Other guests attend by special invitation of the Nobel Institute. In recent years, the list has included international celebrities and pop stars taking part in the globally-televised Nobel Peace Prize Concert. Between the presentations and the speeches, musical selections are performed by a noted artist or orchestral ensemble.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: adobe-garamond-pro, lora, serif; font-size: 21px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 34px; letter-spacing: -0.001em; margin-bottom: 34px;\">The award ceremony is scheduled to last ninety-five minutes, a little longer when the prize is shared. Each laureate is given a limit of twenty-five minutes for the acceptance and Nobel lecture, which is often exceeded, but the ceremony is concluded by the early afternoon, in time to return home or to the hotel and watch the telecast of the prize awards in Stockholm.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-3vzz2g-2a1e31fc5ab6b79fa25925090fc3a9f3\">\n#top .flex_column_table.av-equal-height-column-flextable.av-3vzz2g-2a1e31fc5ab6b79fa25925090fc3a9f3{\nmargin-top:0px;\nmargin-bottom:0px;\n}\n.flex_column.av-3vzz2g-2a1e31fc5ab6b79fa25925090fc3a9f3{\npadding:0 30px 0 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-3vzz2g-2a1e31fc5ab6b79fa25925090fc3a9f3 av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-30  el_after_av_three_fifth  el_before_av_hr  no_margin flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-top  '     ><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.
