Nobel Prize in Medicine

The Nobel Prize in Literature is a Swedish literature prize awarded annually to an author from any country for outstanding work in an idealistic direction. The award is based on an author's body of work as a whole and is decided by the Swedish Academy. The academy announces the name of the laureate in early October, and the prize is one of the five Nobel Prizes established by Alfred Nobel's will in 1895. The selection process involves nominations from members of the Academy, literature academies and societies, professors of literature and language, former Nobel literature laureates, and the presidents of writers' organisations, with a shortlist of five names approved by the Academy and the final winner chosen through a voting process.learn more on wikipedia
