When one enters a photography contest in which 8x10 prints are to be mounted on "a stiff board, 11 by 14-inch size", what exactly constitutes said stiff board? Card stock? Poster board, trimmed to appropriate size? Foam board? Other?

From my oh-so-amazing experience as one of the stewards in a photography exhibit over the course of a few years, I would say it means heavyweight cardstock--stuff that can't be bent unless you try to bend it. That's just my guess.

I'd assume they're indicating that you should mount the pic on mounting board. It's a heavier weight, usually lower acidity, and of a texture that helps the photo to adhere better...

That's what I was going to say, too . . .

Ditto...mat board seems like the way to go.

Agreed -- mat board always counts -- Hobby Lobby always has it.
