Presentation. Prints can be presented in three ways:

mounted on a backing of black or white matboard or stiff card;

mounted in a mat (a matboard frame with a rectangular opening for the print).

For the mounted options, the border provided by the backing or mat must be no more than 5 cm wide on each side.

NO foam core, block mounts or framed prints.

View hints for mounting prints at Photography hints for mounting prints

Name of exhibitor, contact details (phone or email address), title and class entered must be displayed legibly on the back of each print. Please add an arrow to indicate the TOP of the print if the correct orientation is not obvious.
Entries may be reclassified at the discretion of the convenor.
Images are judged on photographic merit.

Entering your prints in both the Yankalilla and Pt Elliot Shows

You can enter the same prints in both the Yankalilla and Port Elliot Shows, as classes 1 to 17 are the same, as are print sizes and mounting options. Doing this has two benefits:

You can submit your prints at either the Yank Showground or at the collection points in Victor Harbor and Goolwa for the Pt Elliot Show by the closing dates for the respective shows, whichever is most convenient. Your entries will then be transported as required between the shows for you.
You can have the Port Elliot show print your entries for you at a reasonable cost.
