Free Participation Certificate

A printable participation certificate for events, camps, competitions, and classroom activities. Add the participant's name and the event, then print or save as a PDF.

A participation certificate recognizes that someone took part, whether or not they placed or passed. It's a genuine way to acknowledge effort and attendance at camps, science fairs, sports days, and workshops — and to make sure everyone leaves with something.

How to use it: Edit the body line to name the event or activity. For a class or team set, keep the border and color the same and just change the name on each printout. Everything except the certificate is stripped from the printout, so what you see is what prints. Choose "Save as PDF" as the destination in the print dialog to email a copy — no software to install.
