Any suggestions on how to get this printed? I am going to enter this into a local photography show and am unsure of the best way to get it done.

Thanks!

Nice action shot! The water creates a really cool effect.

Does the contest have any rules about presentation?
If you don't have a business, Mpix is a good company to order prints from. I would order Luster and not glossy but that is my preference on paper type.
Most contests will want a certain size print and most likely want it matted.

No constraints on size or how it is delivered. I do not have a business, I've been an amateur photographer since high school. I've done canvas and framed in the past. Unsure if I should try something like gatorboard or something similar, or if it would be better framed.

I think I'd keep it frameless. Just mount your print on heavy poster board.

YMMV

Act like you've already won the contest and put it in acrylic. lol

I like the frameless idea, mount it on mat board. You can get it at places like Hobby Lobby.

I agree with mounting it on matte board.

Unfortunately, I am assuming this picture will make it into the show. I've gotten in 3 years in a row now, but my "luck" will most likely run out soon. The only framing constraint is it has to be wire hung. Since I most likely do not have the time to frame this myself any recommendations on companies that do a go job with board framing? I've got a 1 month old at home and no free time.

I also have a co-worker who has bought a few pictures from me already say he would purchase this one also. So if I don't get into the show, the piece is already sold.

Is there a Hobby Lobby near you? I've had several things framed there. They might be able to do frameless.

There are a few Hobby Lobbys around, I am just not sure I trust them.
