About this template

Use this contemporary Certificate of Recognition to put a thank-you in writing. It suits organisations, schools and event hosts, and anyone else who wants the moment to feel official. The black palette and Mona Sans lettering keep it contemporary and easy to read. It works just as well as a staff award or a certificate of achievement.

Suggested wording

Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.

  1. Presented to [Name] in recognition of a contribution that will be remembered long after [Event].
  2. In appreciation of [Name], whose time, energy and kindness helped [Organisation] through [Period].
  3. Presented to [Name] with gratitude for sharing your expertise at [Event] on [Date].

How to customise it

Every word is editable, from the title to the signature line, including the team and year lines. It works in landscape or portrait, on A4 or US Letter, without you having to move anything. Change the font or the size of any line if your text is longer than the sample. Colours are yours to change: try Ink Blue, or match your own brand colours. Add your logo, a crest or a photo and drag it into place.

A smooth, bright white card stock (about 65–80 lb cover) gives the cleanest finish. Choose A4 in Europe and most of the world, or US Letter in North America, before you download. Sign it in blue or black ink once it is printed for a personal touch.
