Design notes

This wide layout is drawn by its own pencil: a sharpened HB lies along the foot, and the graphite line that leaves its point runs round the page as the only frame before it ends under the eraser. Inside are the winner's name on a pencil stroke, the competition title, a short jury statement, a row for prize, category, theme and medium, the judging criteria, two signatures with roles, the date, a credential ID and a QR code. It suits school art departments and art clubs that want a calm, crafted award.

About

Drawing Competition Certificate Template, First Line

Drawing competitions take place in schools, libraries, art clubs and town halls, from a class contest on a set theme to a regional event with age groups and a panel of judges. Entries are usually made in pencil, charcoal, ink or crayon, and the jury scores them on originality, composition, technique and how well they answer the theme. A certificate of achievement goes to the prize winners, and often to highly commended entries too, at the prize-giving or the exhibition of the work.

Wording on the template“Chosen by the jury for first prize: a drawing full of imagination, drawn with a confident line, careful shading and a composition that holds the eye.”

Post for the recipient to share

Proud to share that my drawing won first prize in the junior category of our city's drawing competition. The theme was My Dream City, and I spent weeks on the shading and the details of the buildings. Thank you to my art teacher for all the encouragement and to the jury for choosing my entry. #DrawingCompetition #ArtAward

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 on its side, 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.
