About this template
Film schools, festivals and photo clubs reach for designs like this one when they want to confirm that someone took part: a timeless Photo Exhibition Participation Certificate that looks as good in a frame as it does in a folder. It is shown here in terracotta, with planets and orbits, Yeseva One headings and Jost for the smaller text.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
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].
In recognition of [Name]’s participation in Photo Exhibition Participation. We hope to see you next year.
How to customise it
Click any line to change it: the recipient’s name, the wording, the date, works shown, venue and dates and the signatures. It works in landscape or portrait, on A4 or US Letter, without you having to move anything. Fonts can be swapped too; the defaults are Yeseva One and Jost. Prefer another look? Switch to the Darkroom Red or Sepia Proof colour scheme, or pick any colour you like. Add your logo, a crest or a photo and drag it into place.
Printing tips
For the best result, print on ivory or parchment paper of 160–200 gsm. In the print dialog choose “Actual size” rather than “Fit”, so the border isn’t cropped. Standard A4 and Letter frames fit it without trimming.
