About this template
Schools, clubs and families through the year reach for designs like this one when they want to name a winner and make it official: a traditional Autumn Harvest Award that looks as good in a frame as it does in a folder. It is shown here in burgundy, with leaves and branches, Domine headings and Lato for the smaller text. Change a few words and it doubles as a certificate of participation.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
First place: [Name]. Presented at [Event] on [Date] in recognition of an outstanding entry.
Winner of Autumn Harvest Award: [Name]. Signed on behalf of the judging panel on [Date].
Presented to [Name], champion of [Competition] [Year], with the admiration of every competitor.
How to customise it
Every word is editable, from the title to the signature line. 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. Colours are yours to change: try Russet, or match your own brand colours. 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. Standard A4 and Letter frames fit it without trimming.
