About this template
If you need to name a winner and make it official, this Best Paper Award does it with a traditional layout that universities, research groups and academic departments will recognise straight away. On CerShare it comes in the Ink & Ochre colour scheme, with a bold band of colour as the centrepiece; the lettering pairs EB Garamond with Hanken Grotesk. Change a few words and it doubles as a graduation certificate.

Add your logo, a crest or a photo and drag it into place.
Printing tips
