About this template
If you need to name a winner and make it official, this Halloween Costume Contest Certificate does it with a contemporary layout that schools, clubs and families through the year will recognise straight away. Look closely and you will notice a crescent moon and scattered stars, set off by Montserrat Alternates lettering in orange. 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.
Presented to [Name], champion of [Competition] [Year], with the admiration of every competitor.

This certificate is presented to [Name] for winning [Category] at [Competition].
How to customise it
Click any line to change it: the recipient’s name, the wording, the date, costume and place and the signatures. Prefer another look? Switch to the Pumpkin Night or Candy Ink colour scheme, or pick any colour you like. 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. You can also upload a logo or a photo and place it anywhere on the page.
Printing tips
Bright white matte paper of 160–200 gsm keeps the colours crisp. Choose A4 in Europe and most of the world, or US Letter in North America, before you download. Because of the dark background, check your ink first, or send the PDF to a local print shop.
