Ross

I believe the answer is:

award

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">blue ribbon or gold star</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for award that I've seen before include "Gong (informal)" , "Bestow" , "medal, say" , "Tony, for example" , "Oscar, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
