About this template
Made with boards, foundations and award committees in mind, this Founder's Award helps you name a winner and make it official without starting from a blank page. It is shown here in bronze, with a fine border, Sedan SC headings and Libre Franklin for the smaller text. Change a few words and it doubles as a staff award.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
In recognition of [Name], whose work was judged best in [Category] by [Judges].
Presented to [Name], champion of [Competition] [Year], with the admiration of every competitor.
Winner of Founder's Award: [Name]. Signed on behalf of the judging panel on [Date].
How to customise it
Every word is editable, from the title to the signature line, including the founded lines. Colours are yours to change: try Portland Stone, 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 smooth, bright white card stock (about 65–80 lb cover) gives the cleanest finish. Download the PDF at the paper size you will print on (A4 or US Letter) and set the printer to “Actual size” or 100%. Sign it in blue or black ink once it is printed for a personal touch.
