About this template
Made with head teachers, school leaders and PTAs in mind, this Teacher of the Year Award helps you reward students and staff without starting from a blank page. The colour scheme you see, Burgundy & Brass, is one of three built into the design, with a trophy at the heart of the layout. You will also find it under Employee of the Month and Awards & Competitions on CerShare.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.

Awarded to [Name] for perfect attendance throughout [Term or Year]. Thank you for being here every day.
How to customise it
Click any line to change it: the recipient’s name, the wording, the date and the signatures. Fonts can be swapped too; the defaults are Yeseva One and Hanken Grotesk. The design comes with three colour schemes (Midnight & Gold, Burgundy & Brass and Forest & Brass), and every single colour can be changed. Need portrait instead of landscape, or US Letter instead of A4? Change it in one click. 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. Choose A4 in Europe and most of the world, or US Letter in North America, before you download. The background is dark, so a laser printer or a print shop will give the richest colour.
