Wine competition
From Wikipedia,
"The most common form of wine competition is one in which awards are given to groups of wines in various winning categories on the basis of the blind tasting of wine. That is, the judges do not know the identity of the wines they are evaluating. The awards are frequently bronze, silver, gold, and double gold medals. However, ribbons of various colors are also sometimes used. It is not uncommon for one-third or more of the wines competing to be awarded medals. Some critical observers compare the results to "grade inflation." For example, in 2005 the International Wine Challenge received over 9,000 entries and handed out 5,628 awards. Thus, over one-half of the entries were "winners" and could advertise themselves as award-winning wines."
It seems WC paper has much wider applications, than just within the ivory tower.
