About this template
Competition organisers, schools and clubs reach for designs like this one when they want to name a winner and make it official: a contemporary Public Speaking Certificate that looks as good in a frame as it does in a folder. With flowing waves and Righteous headings, it has a crisp feel, while the Teal Stage palette keeps the colours fresh. Change a few words and it doubles as a certificate of achievement.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
Highly commended: [Name], for [Entry title]. The judges were impressed.
First place: [Name]. Presented at [Event] on [Date] in recognition of an outstanding entry.
Presented to [Name], champion of [Competition] [Year], with the admiration of every competitor.
How to customise it
Click any line to change it: the recipient’s name, the wording, the date, winning speech, category and placing and the signatures. Need portrait instead of landscape, or US Letter instead of A4? Change it in one click. Prefer another look? Switch to the Coral & Plum or Indigo Spotlight colour scheme, or pick any colour you like. 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. In the print dialog choose “Actual size” rather than “Fit”, so the border isn’t cropped. It fits a standard certificate frame or a document folder.
