As I write about the Nobel Prize every year, the Nobel Prize Winners will be announced this week. Today, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was announced. I watched a YouTube live broadcast on my TV. I am interested in physics, so I am looking forward to the announcement of the Nobel Prize in Physics tomorrow.
毎年ノーベル賞について書いていますが、今週はノーベル賞の受賞者が発表されます。今日はノーベル医学生理学賞が発表されました。私はテレビでYouTubeのライブ中継を見ました。私は物理学に興味があるので、明日のノーベル物理学賞の発表を楽しみにしています。

As I write about the Nobel Prize every year, the Nobel Prize Winners will be announced this week.
Grammatically, there is nothing wrong with this sentence; however it reads quite unnaturally.
The structure "as X, Y" is typically used to establish a logical connection, primarily cause-effect for this particular use/meaning. So in this setting, starting the sentence with "As I write about [...]" almost makes it sound like the Nobel Prize winners being announced is a direct consequence of your writing about it. Which I doubt! :)
If you were to use this structure, it would be more natural to do it like so:
"As I write about the Nobel Prize every year, here I am again/that time has come again"
This conveys an implicit understanding that, since you've just described a habit of yours and you are now doing it, then it must mean the time and subject about which you're usually writing are at hand; since you're writing about it!
But truthfully, it reads better not to include it at all and to simply write "I write about the Nobel Prize every year, and this week the winners will be announced".
Today, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was announced.

I myself have never taken much of an interest in the Nobel Prize, but perhaps I will check it out this week!
