On CerShare it comes in the Amber Marsh colour scheme, with flowing waves as the centrepiece; the lettering pairs Forum with Lora. Change a few words and it doubles as a competition award.

How to customise it
Click any line to change it: the recipient’s name, the wording, the date, volunteer hours and seasons and the signatures. Colours are yours to change: try Celadon Pond, or match your own brand colours. It works in landscape or portrait, on A4 or US Letter, without you having to move anything. Text sizes adjust to fit, and you can choose another font for any line. Add your logo, a crest or a photo and drag it into place.
Printing tips
A cream, linen-textured paper of around 120 lb text (180 gsm) suits this classic layout. Download the PDF at the paper size you will print on (A4 or US Letter) and set the printer to “Actual size” or 100%. It fits a standard certificate frame or a document folder.
