Hey Everyone,
I am about to enter a photo in a contest, and the rules state:
"All photos must br 5x7 or 8x10 and mounted on lightweight board"
What exactly does this mean? I have the size thing under control, but I'm wondering what my best bet is for the board. I started by taking a piece of cardboard, trimming it to 8x10 and i was about to glue the picture on it, when I thought there must be a better solution.
Is something like this board at B&H what I should be using? Savage Digital Photo Mounting Board
In this contest all the entry information goes on the back of the board, so I would assume using photo corners to mount it would be a bad idea.
Thanks for any and all suggestions,
Kevin

My father ran a contest years and years ago, I seem to remember the prints being attached to the board using some sort of "double-sided celephane tape" that was a)not so stickey that it would damage print or board, and b)in large sheets so it could be cut to the same size as the print itself.
my words, my "pro"pictures, my "fun" pictures, my videos.
