About this template
Boards, foundations and award committees reach for designs like this one when they want to name a winner and make it official: a timeless Grand Prix Certificate that looks as good in a frame as it does in a folder. The colour scheme you see, Graphite & Champagne, is one of three built into the design, with a trophy at the heart of the layout.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
Awarded to [Name], winner of Grand Prix, [Year].
Highly commended: [Name], for [Entry title]. The judges were impressed.
Congratulations to [Name] on Grand Prix. A well-deserved win.
How to customise it
You can rewrite the whole certificate, or keep the sample wording and just change the names. The design comes with three colour schemes (Noir & Gold, Graphite & Champagne and Ink & Brass), and every single colour can be changed. Need portrait instead of landscape, or US Letter instead of A4? Change it in one click. Change the font or the size of any line if your text is longer than the sample. You can also upload a logo or a photo and place it anywhere on the page.
Printing tips
Heavy matte or parchment paper gives it the weight of an official document. 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.
