Lesson 2: Mounting Prints

Finally mounting your print

4    Position your print in the 'window' of your mount and fix using an adhesive tape.
 The tape must be acid free so that it does not spoil your print. (If your print looks ‘cockled’ i.e. does not lie completely flat – either use heavier photo paper or use spray mount or sheet to stick your print onto some thick card or mount board first)

5    Cover the back of your print with some card cut larger than your print using self-adhesive paper tape (not masking tape) 
or cover the whole of the back of your mount with lightweight board using double sided tape.

Please make sure your backing is secure and will not come off or stick to other prints

6     Add the title (not more than 35 letters including spaces) - your club number and Adv (Advanced) Int (Intermediate) or B (Beginners) on the back of your mount. 
Mark ‘TOP’ if the orientation of your print is not obvious. To help the competition judge fairly assess and compare images, the club has introduced an image classification of ‘Traditional’ or ‘Creative’. Also please add a T or C after your title. If you are not sure if your image is traditional or creative see section 1 of the General competition rules point 11.

7 Also send in projected images of your entry and title etc the same as a projected image entry using PhotoEntry.
