Default Mounting photos for a local photography contest - How??



A local group is running a photography context and I've never gone to
a one so that I would have an idea of what people do to mount the
pictures for submission. I don't want to spend much more for the
mount than I do for the print. ($5 or so.)

What do people do these days? I haven't mounted anything in years. I
used to have the hot press and adhesive tissue paper, but that's long
gone.

For "art" printing, is edge-bleed considered tacky and a white margin
is expected?

Is it not stipulated in the context [sic] rules? For NCPF contests the
general practice is a very shoddy print-taped-to-back-of-window-mount
arrangement. I usually spray-mount a print to foamcore then optionally
mount the window to that.

For a serious contest or exhibition I have the print mounted to board
at the lab. For framing that board would be card, unframed I get
foamboard.

That, I would say, is entirely up to you.
