About this template
Use this crisp Business Plan Competition Certificate to name a winner and make it official. It suits competition organisers, schools and clubs, and anyone else who wants the moment to feel official. The colour scheme you see, Terracotta, is one of three built into the design, with a badge at the heart of the layout.

How to customise it
You can rewrite the whole certificate; the winning venture, category and prize fields are already in place, and you can delete the ones you don’t need. Colours are yours to change: try Ledger Green, or match your own brand colours. 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. Add your logo, a crest or a photo and drag it into place.
Printing tips
Use a smooth white paper rather than parchment, so the clean lines stay sharp. Print one copy on plain paper first to check the spelling and the margins. Sign it in blue or black ink once it is printed for a personal touch.
