About this template
If you need to confirm that someone took part, this Hackathon Participation Certificate does it with a contemporary layout that event organisers, schools and clubs will recognise straight away. Russo One sets the title and JetBrains Mono carries the details, with a badge giving the page its character.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
In recognition of [Name]’s participation in Hackathon Participation Certificate. We hope to see you next year.
Presented to [Name] for taking part in [Event] and contributing to its success.
This certifies that [Name] participated in [Event], held at [Venue] on [Date].
How to customise it
Every word is editable, from the title to the signature line, including the hours of building, team and project lines. Text sizes adjust to fit, and you can choose another font for any line. Colours are yours to change: try Terminal Night, or match your own brand colours. Choose A4, US Letter or A3, in landscape or portrait, and the layout rearranges itself to fit. You can also upload a logo or a photo and place it anywhere on the page.
Printing tips
Use a smooth white paper rather than parchment, so the clean lines stay sharp. Download the PDF at the paper size you will print on (A4 or US Letter) and set the printer to “Actual size” or 100%. Because of the dark background, check your ink first, or send the PDF to a local print shop.
