Morphology
The components give a clear hint: 'ribbon' as a prize/honor and 'blue ribbon' as a mark of distinction suggest a prestigious or high-quality panel, so a learner who knows the parts can partially infer a distinguished jury. However, the specific extension to 'selected for expertise' is an idiomatic use of 'blue-ribbon' and may not be fully predictable to a B1 learner without prior exposure.
Etymology
The noun blue ribbon jury comes from the idea of a blue ribbon as a prize for the 'best' people and jury as a group that decides. So a blue ribbon jury is a jury chosen for its 'expert' members to decide difficult or complex cases.
