Editing Right Livelihood Award (section)

==Ceremony==
Since 1985, the ceremony has taken place in [[Stockholm]]'s old Parliament building, in the days before the traditional Nobel prizes are awarded in the same city. A group of Swedish Parliamentarians from different parties host the ceremony; in 2009 European Commissioner [[Margot Wallström]] co-hosted the ceremony. However, in 2014 when it became public that one of the recipients of the 2014 prize was [[whistleblower]] [[Edward Snowden]], the ceremonial group was disinvited from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs building in Stockholm.<ref>{{Cite news |date=24 September 2014 |title=Edward Snowden inte välkommen till UD |work=Aftonbladet |publisher=Aftonbladet |url=http://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/article19588815.ab |access-date=24 September 2014 |ref=16}}</ref>

In 2019, marking the 40th anniversary of the foundation of the Award, the ceremony was held at [[Cirkus (Stockholm)|Cirkus]] in front of a live audience of more than 1,200 people. World-renowned artists such as [[José González (singer)|José González]] and [[Ane Brun]] were among the night's performers.<ref>Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/W8Su3koxFOw Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20191231174213/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8Su3koxFOw Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}: {{Citation |title=2019 Right Livelihood Award Presentation | date=4 December 2019 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8Su3koxFOw |language=en |access-date=2020-01-08}}{{cbignore}}</ref>
