  4. All mounts must be capable of staying in place for the duration of the competition. Where mounts do not adhere they may be removed from the display board and may not be judged, at the organisers discretion.(It is highly recommend that all clubs bring a large can of 3M Spray Mount or similar and at least 10 metres of sticky-backed Velcro which is available from all good fabric stores like Hickeys)
  5. Prints may not be removed from display boards until after the conclusion of the award ceremony and only when cleared by the Event Coordinator.

  7. A copy of any gold medal winning images will be required to be submitted to the Archive Officer.
