Beginning this year, the Academy will also present each recipient with the Academy Rosette. It was first used in the United States in 1877 by the Military Order of the Loyal Legion. Since World War I and especially following World War II, rosettes have been made to represent various types of awards, both military and civilian. A rosette is a symbol of recognition and affiliation. Attractive and elegant, rosettes are usually worn on the lapel of a suit or coat by both men and women.
All rosettes are hand-crafted, using fine quality fabric pleated to resemble a rose.
