Design notes
The whole badge is one cast-iron Dutch oven, the pot the judges tasted from. Steam rises over the lid, the organisation's name sits across the lid, and a cream plate set into the brick-red belly holds a logo spot and the event, Chili Cook-Off. A dark FIRST PLACE ribbon crosses the lower belly with folded ends past the handles. The pot shape and the place still read as a small thumbnail, which suits contests that publish their winners online.
About
Cook-Off Winner Badge Template, Dutch Oven First Place
The certificate goes on the fridge or the station wall, but the winner of a chili cook-off also wants to show the win online: on a club page, in a team chat or on a social profile. Fire stations, churches, workplaces, county fairs and cooking clubs give this badge to the first place cook once the scorecards are added up, so the title follows the recipe to next year's contest.

Post for the recipient to share
Our team chili cook-off had more serious recipes than I expected, and somehow my bowl took first place with the judges. My grandmother's recipe finally gets the recognition it deserves. Thank you to the judges, the organisers and everyone who came to taste. Already planning next year's batch. #ChiliCookOff #CookOff
