Chest numbers, ID cards, and certificates are the paperwork that quietly decides whether a competition runs smoothly or falls apart at the registration desk. eTalenter’s competition certificate and ID card generator produces all three automatically from your participant data — unique chest numbers, printable photo ID cards, and personalised certificates and trophy stickers — so a school arts fest, a sports day, a talent test, or a club kalotsavam can identify every participant and award every winner without hand-typing a single name. Here’s what it generates and how organizers set it up.
Chest numbers that never clash
Once entries are approved, eTalenter assigns a unique chest number (candidate ID) to every participant automatically. You control the format through ID Card Configuration — set a prefix per age group, per unit, or per competition (for example an LP/UP/HS/HSS prefix, or a house or school code) and the system numbers everyone sequentially with no duplicates and no gaps. Because the number is tied to the candidate’s age group and unit, the draw, call sheets, and scoring all reference the same ID from registration through to results.
Printable ID cards with photos
From the same data, eTalenter generates ID cards ready to print — participant name, photo, chest number, age group, unit or house, and event branding. Print them in bulk for a whole unit, or hand them out at a registration desk. The built-in Designer lets you customise the layout, colours, and logo so the cards match your event, and the same identity carries onto call sheets and stage tokens so officials always know who is who.
Certificates and trophy stickers on tap
When results are published, certificates generate straight from the tabulated data — no mail-merge, no retyping winners’ names. eTalenter produces three common types:
- Champion / winner certificates — for overall and category champions.
- Rank certificates — first, second, third and grades per competition and age group.
- Participation certificates — for every registered candidate.
The matching trophy stickers print the winner’s name, competition, and rank to fix onto medals and trophies at the podium — so awards are labelled correctly the moment results are announced. Every template is customisable in the Designer.
One dataset, no re-typing
The point of a generator is that everything flows from a single source. A participant registers once; that record produces their chest number, their ID card, their call-sheet entry, and — after judging — their certificate and trophy sticker. Nothing is entered twice, so misspelled names and mismatched numbers simply don’t happen. It works the same whether you are running a school kalolsavam with houses, a district-level festival with schools as units, a church youth talent test, or a Gulf Malayalee club kalotsavam.
Frequently asked questions
Can we set our own chest number format?
Yes. ID Card Configuration lets you set prefixes and numbering rules per age group, unit, or competition, and the system fills in unique sequential numbers for you.
Do we have to design certificates from scratch?
No. Start from the built-in champion, rank, and participation templates and adjust the layout, logo, and colours in the Designer to match your event.
Are certificates and trophy stickers generated automatically?
Yes — once results are tabulated and published, certificates and trophy stickers are generated from the winners’ data, so there is no manual retyping.
Chest numbers, ID cards, and certificates all come from the same clean data you collect at sign-up — see how online competition registration feeds the generator, and how judging and tabulation turns scores into published results and certificates.
