The highest number of nominations recorded in the prize’s history was in 2016, when 376 candidates were in the running. However, the committee does not disclose the names of nominees, keeping the selection process confidential for 50 years, as per Nobel Foundation regulations.
While some names may surface in the media due to speculation or self-reported nominations, official confirmation remains strictly prohibited.
