Tips & Warnings
When you print the award certificate, use special certificate paper that you can purchase at any local office supply store. This type of paper will be thicker and heavier and will provide an authentic certificate feel.
Make sure that the design of your certificate emphasizes the name of the award recipient. The name should be in bold with a larger font size.
