Basic information for texts on award plaques

Here we propose some ideas that are often included on award plaques. This is the basic information they should contain, adapted to the occasion of the celebration or event:

  • Engrave the reason for the recognition, along with an identifying phrase
  • The date and location of the event
  • Who presents the plaque or who performs the homage, which can be complemented with the organization's logo or a representative image

As you can see, these text ideas for award plaques are customizable to each circumstance. The important thing is to always consider the appropriate treatment of the person being honored.
