A Surfer Silhouette and Gothic Lettering in Navy
Navy triangles with scrollwork sit in the top corners of this landscape certificate, and a hot pink triangle with a flourish fills the lower right. CERTIFICATE is set in heavy gothic capitals above of participation, with a navy surfer silhouette carrying a board at the right. A seal reading California Beach Surfing sits at the foot.
A Letter Landscape With a Sporty Frame
The page is 11 x 8.5 inches. A thin navy border surrounds the whole sheet, and the faint dotted background gives the paper a subtle texture that prints well on plain stock.
Recipient, Citation and Surf Seal
Replace Mr. Mark Barker with the participant name, then change the Lorem ipsum paragraph to a line about the event and the date. The round seal reads California Beach Surfing ESTD 1989, so replace it with your own club badge or remove it.
Preparing the Surf Certificate
- Type the participant name.
- Rewrite the citation.
- Replace the surfing seal.
- Add date and signature.
- Print on bright paper.
A Beach and Surf Club Look
The surfer silhouette makes this a good fit for surf clubs, beach camps and water sports days. For other sports, delete the silhouette and the seal, and the frame still works with another image.
Gothic Lettering With Care
The title is in a blackletter style that looks bold and a little rebellious. It is hard to read at small sizes, so keep the title large and do not add more blackletter text elsewhere.
Using the Pink Corner as an Accent
The pink triangle at the lower right gives a splash of colour against the navy. It also balances the dark corners at the top, which keeps the page from feeling top heavy.
Certificates for Every Entrant
Participation awards go to everyone, so a large run is common. Print on plain 24 pound paper for a cheap batch, and keep a heavier stock for medal winners.
Dates and Event Names in the Citation
The paragraph should name the competition, the place and the date. Short factual lines make a certificate more meaningful to a child who later finds it in a drawer.
Signature and Date Lines
A Date and a Signature line sit on either side of the seal. Have a coach or club official sign each page by hand, as a personal signature gives the award a sense of importance.
Handing Awards Out at the Beach
Hand certificates out at a closing event, in a short ceremony. Photos of participants holding their certificate are a nice record for the club website, with permission.
