2014 Nobel Peace Prize Contenders
1. Malala Yousafzai
Many people thought Malala Yousafzai would win last year, and she's in the running again.
The 17-year-old hero famously survived being shot in the head by the Taliban for encouraging girls to seek education, and she never let that stop her from advocating for women's rights.
"They cannot stop me," Yousafzai told ABC News last year, reflecting on the attack. "I will get my education, if it is in home, school, or anyplace."
If she wins the Nobel Peace Prize, she'll be the youngest ever laureate, according to the organization.
2. The Pope
Pope Francis' name has also been tossed into the hat.
But it is too soon for the Argentine pontiff, who has only been leading the Catholic Church since March 2013, to win the Nobel Peace Prize? The organization was criticized when President Barack Obama won the prize in 2009, only a year into his presidency.
Still, bettors have their money on Pope Francis, and if he wins, he would be the first pope so honored.
3. Edward Snowden
Snowden might be a wild card, but some people think he has what it takes to win the prize.
Two Norwegian lawmakers nominated Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor who leaked classified information and is now exiled in Russia.
"For there to be any chance of peace, countries have to be able to trust each other," said one of the lawmakers, Snorre Valen, in support of Snowden.
