== The Origin of Awards == The word '''βawardβ''' comes from the Old French ''eswarder'', meaning βto decide or judge.β In ancient civilizations, leaders and scholars recognized exceptional achievement with medals, laurel crowns, or honorary titles. * '''Ancient Greece:''' Olympians were crowned with olive wreaths as symbols of peace and glory. * '''Roman Empire:''' Soldiers received medals for valor β precursors to modern decorations. * '''Middle Ages:''' Scholars and artists were rewarded by monarchs and guilds for advancing knowledge and beauty. Over time, awards evolved from royal privileges to '''democratic instruments of global honor''', celebrating merit across nations and disciplines. ''(source: Reuters)'' ----
