Design notes
The round badge holds a single iamb, the smallest unit of English metre: a red cup for the light syllable and a leaning red stroke for the stressed one, set on an ink verse rule and closed by a red foot bar. The organisation's name curves along the top of the paper roundel, with POETRY in Garamond capitals and AWARD beneath it. The marks stay clear at 120 px, and the badge belongs with the Scanned Line certificates.
About
Poetry Award Badge Template, Scanned Line
A poetry award badge carries a win past the reading night. Schools, public libraries, literary societies and poetry festivals send it to the poets they honour in a competition, and it goes onto a writer's website, a submission bio or a LinkedIn profile. Editors and teachers who click it see who ran the contest, which prize it was and when the poem was chosen, which matters to a young writer building a list of credits.

Your certificate is ready. Open it to see your award, download a copy to print and frame, or share it on LinkedIn and your writer's page so readers can find your work.
Thank you for sending us your poem, and congratulations.

Post for the recipient to share
Some news I am still taking in: my poem won first prize in this year's open poetry competition. I wrote the first draft on a train and rewrote it more times than I can count. Thank you to the judges for reading so closely, and to my writing group for every honest note. #Poetry #AmWriting #PoetryAward
