This competition is an OPENcompetition, meaning you can enter any subject.
Up to TWO images are allowed per round.
Each image is
displayed on a 'mount-board'' to a maximum size of 500mm 400mm
The ‘cut-out’ for the image is usually A4 size but can be up
to A3 as long as it is within the mount-board size.
Mount-boards can be purchased in various colours, although
white, cream, or black are the most popular. (see Resources on where to purchase
these and all tools needed for mounting and image)
All mount-boards mist have a ’backing-board’ (thinner than
the mount-board) stick to the back.
Each entered image must have a label completed with the author’s
name and image title stuck on the top right hand corner, on the back of the
mount board. (See resources to download DCC labels)
Mount-boards can be purchased ‘pre-cut’ to a specific aperture,
or you can purchase mount-boards ready to be cut using the correct tools.
The club will hold tuition evenings on how to prepare a
printed image to be mounted for these competitions.
If you require any
further guidance please contact any member of the committee or speak to your ‘mentor’
if you have requested one.

The image name of the print will be the title you enter into the Uploader.
