There is no application process -- you have to be nominated for a Nobel Prize. According to the Nobel Prize web site: "Each year the respective committees send individual invitations to thousands of scientists, members of academies and university professors in numerous countries, asking them to nominate candidates for the Nobel Prizes for the coming year. Those who are competent to submit nominations are chosen in such a way that as many countries and universities as possible will be represented." http://www.nobel.se/literature/nomination/index.html |

The literature prize is explained by the Swedish Academy, who award it: "Those entitled to nominate candidates for the Prize are the members of the Academy, members of academies and societies similar to it in membership and aims, professors of literature and language, former Nobel laureates in literature, and the presidents of writers organisations which are representative of their countrys literary production. Proposals for the years prize-winner must reach the Nobel Committee by February 1st. A proposal should, but need not, be accompanied by supporting reasons. It is not possible to propose oneself as a candidate, i.e. the Nobel Prize cannot be applied for. There are usually about 350 proposals each year. During the spring the proposals are examined by the Nobel Committee and in April it presents for the Academys approval a preliminary list of candidates, containing some 20 names. Before the Academys summer recess the list has usually been further reduced to about five names. In October the Academy makes its choice. For the election to be valid, a candidate must gain more than half of the votes cast. The prize-winner receives the prize (10 million SEK in 2001) from the hands of the King in Stockholm Concert Hall on December 10th Nobel Day." http://www.svenskaakademien.se/ENG/nobelprize/ |

When you publish a literature, and if it's really good, then the publishers nominate you. Then your literature will be read and argued and debated among other papers and then the best one will win the Nobel Prize. |
