About this template
Made with organisations, schools and event hosts in mind, this Board Recognition Award helps you put a thank-you in writing without starting from a blank page. Look closely and you will notice scattered stars and a badge, set off by Crimson Text lettering in forest green. You will also find it under Achievement on CerShare.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
This certificate of appreciation is presented to [Name] for outstanding support and dedication.
Thank you, [Name], for always going the extra mile. We could not have done it without you.
In appreciation of [Name], whose time, energy and kindness helped [Organisation] through [Period].
How to customise it
You can rewrite the whole certificate, or keep the sample wording and just change the names. Fonts can be swapped too; the defaults are Crimson Text and Montserrat. Need portrait instead of landscape, or US Letter instead of A4? Change it in one click. The design comes with three colour schemes (Crimson & Navy, Royal Blue & Gold and Forest & Gold), and every single colour can be changed. Add your logo, a crest or a photo and drag it into place.
Printing tips
For the best result, print on ivory or parchment paper of 160–200 gsm. In the print dialog choose “Actual size” rather than “Fit”, so the border isn’t cropped. Because of the dark background, check your ink first, or send the PDF to a local print shop.
