On which date is the Nobel Prize in Literature normally presented each year?

The Nobel Prize in Literature is normally presented on 10 December each year.

The date marks the anniversary of Alfred Nobel’s death in 1896. Nobel’s will created the prizes, and the annual ceremonies are held on this day in Stockholm, Sweden, and Oslo, Norway, depending on the prize category.

The Literature Prize ceremony takes place in Stockholm, where the Swedish monarch presents the medal and diploma. The Nobel Peace Prize is presented separately in Oslo by the Norwegian Nobel Committee.

The announcement usually occurs in October, several weeks before the December ceremony. A laureate may receive the prize later if circumstances prevent attendance, but 10 December remains the traditional presentation date.
