About this template
Here is a formal way to name a winner and make it official: the Forest Green Starry Holiday Party Award, a template that suits schools, workplaces and families. The colour scheme you see, Pine Night, is one of three built into the design, with scattered stars at the heart of the layout. Change a few words and it doubles as a family keepsake.
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.
Congratulations to [Name] on Holiday Party Award. A well-deserved win.
How to customise it
You can rewrite the whole certificate, or keep the sample wording and just change the names. Need portrait instead of landscape, or US Letter instead of A4? Change it in one click. Prefer another look? Switch to the Navy & Gold or Plum Night colour scheme, or pick any colour you like. Text sizes adjust to fit, and you can choose another font for any line. 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. Download the PDF at the paper size you will print on (A4 or US Letter) and set the printer to “Actual size” or 100%. The background is dark, so a laser printer or a print shop will give the richest colour.
