Design notes

The upright page reads like the front of a competition dress. Black cloth falls to a deep dropped V, its seam stoned with rhinestones that grow towards the point, where a round brooch holds 1ST and PLACE. Under the cut the record is centred: the dancer's name in script, the competition in red, the statement, what the panel judged, then division, age group, routine, placing, score and the issue date in two rows, with signatures either side of the QR code. A portrait suits a frame on the studio wall or a dancer's bedroom shelf.

About

Dance Competition Award Certificate, Rhinestone Portrait

Competitive dancers spend a season polishing one routine for a few minutes on stage, and the moment the placings are read out is the one they remember. Regional and national competitions, dance festivals and conventions hand a placing certificate to the soloist, duo or group that comes first in its division, often alongside high-score and special awards from the adjudicators. Studios keep them too, for the dancers who bring a title home.

Wording on the template“Awarded for first place in the contemporary solo division: a routine the judging panel scored highest overall, from the first count to the final pose, for its control, its musical timing and its presence on stage.”

Post for the recipient to share

Our contemporary solo took first place in the senior division this weekend. Months of early rehearsals, a lot of changes to the choreography and one very sparkly costume went into those three minutes on stage. Thank you to my teacher, my studio and the judges for their feedback. On to the next one. #Dance #DanceCompetition

Printing

Printing it well

Print at actual size

Choose “Actual size” or 100% in the print dialog, not “Fit to page”, so the margins and the QR code keep their size.

Use card, not paper

A matte or silk card of 200–300 gsm (about 80–110 lb cover) feels like an award and does not curl in a frame.

Frame it

A4 fits a standard 21 × 29.7 cm frame; US Letter fits an 8.5 × 11 in frame, or an 11 × 14 in frame with a mat. Hang it upright, as designed.

Mind the edges

Most home printers leave a thin white border. For a design that runs to the edge, use a print shop or your printer’s borderless setting.
