red ribbon
Second place award
Red ribbon refers to an awareness symbol, most notably for HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention, worn as a looped ribbon pinned to clothing.
Red ribbons also mark second place in competitions, behind the blue ribbon for first: She won the red ribbon in the science fair.
A red-ribbon committee or panel is one of special distinction.
