I don't know much about this award, but the word "Certificate" strikes me as little odd. The others are called "Awards" -- should we not call this one and Award as well?

Though this word looks intentional rather than accidental, so maybe it's right?

Yes, needs to be certificate as we are not allowed to call these awards. I wonder if we should put in a different location on the website?
