After the Nobel Prize Awards 2014 made history earlier this year by naming teenage Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai the youngest recipient of the Peace Prize in history, the laureates of different categories now gather in the capital city of Norway, Oslo, to receive their prizes.
It's been an amazing year for the Nobel Prize Awards, as 2014 gave the world possibly the most popular Nobel Peace Prize winner in recent memory: 17 year-old female children education's activist and human rights beacon Malala Yousafzai, the youngest-ever recipient in Nobel history.
The Nobel Prize Awards 2014 are among the most important galas in the year, though they're really more like a succession of parties, as they award many different categories in different fields of the arts and sciences, and in two different countries: Norway and Sweden, according to IB Times.
The two Nobel Prize Awards 2014 ceremonies will happen on December 10, the date that has been established since the late 19th century due to the fact that it corresponds with Alfred Nobel's death date in 1896.
According to Sputnik News, this year's ceremonies will occur simultaneously in two of the most important Nordic capitals: Oslo, where they'll be giving out the Nobel Peace Prize to Malala Yousafzai and Kailash Satyarthi; and Stockholm, where they'll be providing the rest of the awards.
The Nobel Prize Winners of 2014 include, besides the Peace Prize: Patrick Modiano as a recipient of the Literature prize; Shuji Nakamura, Isamu Akasakiand Hiroshi Amano as the Physics laureates; Edvard Moser, May-Britt Moser and John O'Keefe taking the Physiology or Medicine award; William E. Moerner, Eric Betzig and Stefan Hell in the Chemistry category; and Jean Tirole taking the prestigious Economic Sciences award.
These thirteen laureates, who come from countries like Pakistan, India, France, Japan, Norway, Germany and the United States, will be collecting their awards: a diploma, a medal and 8 million SEK (which is about $1.2 million).
The most famous honoree of the Nobel Prize Awards 2014, Malala Yousafzai, told the BBC she might consider following a career in politics if it could serve her country and the causes she believes in.
