Petter Eide, a Norwegian politician, has nominated BLM for the annual prize

Eide said he wanted the group recognized for raising awareness of racism

He said that incidents of violence were vastly outnumbered by peaceful protest

BLM, founded 2013, sprung into action this summer after George Floyd's killing 

Fringe groups of agitators took advantage of the peaceful protests to riot

Businesses and shops were burnt amid violent confrontations with police

Nominations for the Prize must be in by Feb 1: the winner is announced October
