Awards, commendations, thanks and certificates
Calligraphy on awards. This is one of my favourite calligraphy services.
While digitalisation offers convenience and accessibility at every turn, I still cherish a strong connection with the handwriting. I feel the need to preserve tradition and the love of handwriting. It is impossible to predict the future or to guarantee that technology will be always, everywhere and accessible to everyone.
That is why I am cultivating this sparkling love affair with beautiful letters and wonderful calligraphic colours.

What is the value of an unnamed award or commendation?
For the last decade, awards have been given not only to the winners, but also to all participants simply for taking part. Inevitably, this raises various questions about the value and relevance of such acknowledgements and commendations.
Is it resentment at a mediocre result, or envy at someone else's success? Perhaps the motive for too frequent praise is just a misguided way of motivating everyone involved?
Acknowledgements - calligraphic inscription of the slogan with golden runes.
But these questions are not the point of this note. We are more interested in the reason for granting charters without names? Who actually awards the bianco commendations or certificates, and why doesn't the winner, participant or recipient deserve to have their name inscribed?
A terrible gap in awards, commendations and certificates
I still have my primary school report card, various commendations and awards, including service commendations and medals. There are not many, but all of them have my name on them. That's why I am proud of them, even if they are only modestly tucked away in a drawer.
Over the last few years, I have often been commissioned to put names on various documents.
Some were of such exceptional importance that the recipient would have been proud to display them on his or her wall. But how, when instead of a name and surname, there is a gaping hole.
One of the reasons is probably that there is no time when the event is off the organiser's premises and the names are not yet known.

Examples include various competitions. In the past, of course, names were entered by hand, but nowadays we can print the name. When it comes to awarding charters with known recipients, there is hardly any excuse. Another reason may be that the skill of writing beautifully is disappearing.
With the advancement of technology, the preservation of manuscripts has become time-consuming and irrelevant, overlooked and forgotten in curricula for years. As an artistic expression, handwriting is a rarity. However, both handwriting and calligraphy have their own charm, which adds value and credibility to any document.
Awards with calligraphic writing of names on a folder
The awarding of a certificate, diploma or certificate of appreciation deserves a ceremony
The award of the Charter reflects the importance of the opportunity and the achievement. However, when the Charter is presented without the name inscribed, the ceremony is somewhat nullified.
It becomes an empty gesture that fails to capture the meaning and weight of the moment. The missing name on the document denies the individual the full experience of pride and honour that should accompany such an important milestone.
