In 2024 there were 286 nominees. The highest number of nominees was in 2016, with 376 candidates.

The nomination deadline for the Nobel Peace Prize for 2025 was on 31 January. Members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee may add further names to the list during their first meeting, which this year was held on 28 February. 

The Nobel Committee does not confirm the names of nominees, neither to the media nor to the candidates themselves. There are cases where names of candidates appear in the media, either as a result of sheer speculation or because individuals themselves report to have nominated specific candidates.
 
The list of nominees for the Nobel Peace Prize is released 50 years after the prize is awarded, in accordance with the statues of the Nobel Foundation.
 
The Nobel Peace Prize laureate(s) of 2025 will be announced on Friday 10 October, with the award ceremony taking place on 10 December in Oslo, Norway.
