Winning an award is a career highlight. A moment of recognition that people share with colleagues, post on LinkedIn, and frame on their wall.
So why are you still handing them a PDF?
TRUE creates digital award certificates that are beautiful enough to share, secure enough to verify, and smart enough to drive traffic back to your programme — every single time.
When a winner receives a TRUE certificate, something remarkable happens: they share it. On LinkedIn, on their company website, in email signatures, in press releases.
Every share is free marketing for your award programme. And because TRUE certificates live on your domain — not ours — every click drives traffic to you.
The numbers speak for themselves:
Award certificates are among the most-shared document types on TRUE. Winners don't just accept them — they celebrate them.
TRUE powers digital certificates for award programmes and business competitions across the Nordics and Europe — including programmes by Dagens Næringsliv (DN Gaselle Norge) and other recognised business awards.
These organisations chose TRUE because their winners expect more than a printable file. They expect a credential that matches the prestige of the award itself.
TRUE certificates aren't PDFs with a border. They're interactive, animated, branded web documents designed to match the prestige of your award. Your logo, your colours, your design — looking like it was crafted by a creative agency.
Every certificate is anchored on blockchain with a SHA-256 hash. This means anyone — employers, journalists, the public — can verify that the award is real, unaltered, and issued by you. No phone calls. No emails. Just scan or click.
TRUE certificates live on your website, not ours. When a DN Gaselle winner shares their certificate on LinkedIn, the link points to the award programme's domain — driving traffic, brand awareness, and SEO value back to the organiser.
One-click sharing to LinkedIn, embedded in websites, QR codes for events. TRUE certificates are designed from the ground up to be shared — because that's where the value multiplies.
See exactly when, where, and by whom your award certificates are opened and shared. Understand the reach of your programme. Measure the marketing impact of every ceremony.
Here's what happens when you issue a TRUE certificate:
This isn't theoretical. Award certificates are among the highest-sharing document types on TRUE because winners are genuinely proud to share them. You're not asking people to promote your brand — they want to.
Annual award ceremonies — Entrepreneur of the Year, Growth Company of the Year, Innovation Awards. Give winners a credential that matches the prestige of the event.
Sector-specific awards — tech, sustainability, design, media. Each certificate carries your programme's brand and links back to your organisation.
Local and regional recognition programmes — Gaselle awards, fastest-growing companies, best employers. Scale your programme with digital certificates that winners share nationally.
Internal innovation awards, employee of the quarter, team achievements. Give recognition that employees proudly post on LinkedIn — turning internal culture into external brand building.
Speaker awards, hackathon winners, pitch competition champions. Issue certificates on the spot and let winners share before they even leave the venue.
1. Design your certificate template Use TRUE's template system to create a branded certificate that reflects your award programme. Animated backgrounds, custom layouts, dynamic fields for winner name, category, and year.
2. Issue certificates After your ceremony or announcement, issue certificates individually or in bulk. Each winner gets a unique, verifiable credential delivered to their email.
3. Winners share Recipients share their certificates with one click — to LinkedIn, websites, email signatures, and social media. Every share carries your brand.

When award recipients get a TRUE certificate instead of a PDF, the response is immediate. They share it. They tag your programme. They tell their network. Because it actually looks like something worth sharing.
Your award programme deserves certificates as impressive as the achievements they recognise.
