About this template
The Olive Starry Teacher of the Year Award is a playful Teacher of the Year Award template that head teachers, school leaders and PTAs use to reward students and staff. Look closely and you will notice scattered stars and leaves and branches, set off by Lobster Two lettering in olive. Change a few words and it doubles as a staff award.

How to customise it
Click any line to change it: the recipient’s name, the wording, the date, class and nominated by and the signatures. Colours are yours to change: try Orchard Red, or match your own brand colours. Fonts can be swapped too; the defaults are Lobster Two and Lato. It works in landscape or portrait, on A4 or US Letter, without you having to move anything. 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. Download the PDF at the paper size you will print on (A4 or US Letter) and set the printer to “Actual size” or 100%. Sign it in blue or black ink once it is printed for a personal touch.
