Designed to be worn as an award brooch, the Medal of Culture is offered on three levels — I, II, and III. Special circumstances aside, a Grade-III medal is usually awarded to first-time recipients, and the honor can be promoted accordingly to subsequent achievements. A recipient cannot be promoted by more than two levels for the same achievements. Foreign recipients will not be subjected to the same tri-grade restrictions.Please see Attachment I for the medal design and accompanying description.Attachment I The Medal of Culture.pdf
