ribbon awards
Fabric competition prizes
Ribbon awards are recognitions given in the form of decorative fabric strips, typically at competitions, fairs, or exhibitions.
Blue ribbons traditionally indicate first place, red for second, white for third.
The term extends to any tiered award system using colored ribbons: Her pie won a ribbon award at the county fair.
In military contexts, ribbon awards are small fabric bars worn on uniforms to represent medals and commendations.
