Print Image Presentation Rules
Please be aware that image presentation for awards will be limited to photos being matted or being flush mounted on foam board. While the judge is to score the print, photos presented in mats that are dirty or bent may result in lower critique scores. Make the effort to show your work in the most positive manner. Framed photos are no longer accepted due to the potential damage to the other photographs awaiting critique and potential damage to the frame itself. Digital only images continue to be accepted and will be critiqued by the judge; however only printed images are eligible for awards.
