Design notes

Here the page is re-composed on one central axis. The compass figure sits at the head under the logo, with its caption naming the award, then come the title, the name in italic and the program. The statement ends in a gold end-of-proof square, and below it the fields examined and the round, papers and time stand in two columns. The QR code sits centred above the straightedge, with a signature at each end and the issue date and credential ID between them.

About

Olympiad Award Certificate Template, Compass Figure Portrait

Olympiad results matter well beyond the exam hall. Students keep the certificate for portfolios, scholarship files and university applications, and schools put the strongest results on a noticeboard or a hall of honour. An upright page fits those folders and frames, and it gives the award a formal look when it is handed out at an assembly or a prize evening. A school maths department, a regional olympiad committee or a maths circle can send it to each student who reached the merit, bronze, silver or gold cut-off in a round.

Wording on the template“For complete, rigorous written solutions to the olympiad's problem papers, worked alone against the clock and scored above the award cut-off. Every answer was a full argument, marked by the jury against a published scheme.”

Hi name,

Congratulations on your result in this year's olympiad. The papers were hard, and your answers showed real care and clear reasoning from the first problem to the last.

Your certificate is ready. Open it to see your award, download a copy to print for your portfolio, or share it on your profile so your teachers, family and friends can see it. It carries a credential ID, so anyone can check that it is genuine.

Well done, and we hope to see you in the next round.

Post for the recipient to share

I received my certificate of merit from this year's Mathematics Olympiad. Months of practice problems, a long written paper and a lot of crossed-out attempts went into it, and I am proud of the result. Thank you to my teachers and my maths club for every hard problem they gave me. On to the next round. #MathOlympiad #Mathematics

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.
