About this template
Here is a timeless way to name a winner and make it official: the Copper Starry Award Certificate, a template that suits competition organisers, schools and clubs. With scattered stars and Federo headings, it has a formal feel, while the Jade & Bronze palette keeps the colours fresh. 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.
First place: [Name]. Presented at [Event] on [Date] in recognition of an outstanding entry.
This certificate is presented to [Name] for winning [Category] at [Competition].
Awarded to [Name], winner of [Award name], [Year].
How to customise it
You can rewrite the whole certificate, or keep the sample wording and just change the names. It works in landscape or portrait, on A4 or US Letter, without you having to move anything. Change the font or the size of any line if your text is longer than the sample. The design comes with three colour schemes (Plum & Gold, Sapphire & Gold and Jade & Bronze), and every single colour can be changed. You can also upload a logo or a photo and place it anywhere on the page.
Printing tips
A cream, linen-textured paper of around 120 lb text (180 gsm) suits this classic layout. Choose A4 in Europe and most of the world, or US Letter in North America, before you download. Standard A4 and Letter frames fit it without trimming.
