Hi
I entered one of my photos (as a jpeg) for the West of England Academy Open Exhibition and it has passed the first round of judging. I now have to submit a framed print for the second round.
I have taken thousands of photos but I never print and frame them, so I am at a bit of a loss as to what is required for an exhibition print.
Could anybody give me an idea of what I should do about the printing and framing. It is a B&W photo.
What process should I use (Ctype, giclee, etc) and what type of paper should it be printed on and what finish (glossy, pearl, etc) should I use?
What about framing?
I have priced the print at £225, framed, but from this I only receiver £115 and have to pay for the printing, framing, postage and packing (to anywhere in the world) from this.
Any advice would be greatfully received as I have never done this before.

Thanks
 
Thanks for the advice, I would like to sell it but I think that it may end up on my wall. I have been doing photography for many years and have thousands of photos on my hard disk but I treat them like slides and don't print them. I am competent at photography and photoshop and assumed that the printing and framing was a minor detail!
How wrong could I be.
I am going into Bristol to see what's available.
 
I eventually went to Photographique in Bristol and paid £39 for A3 printing and framing, which I can pick up tomorrow.
I will report the results when I pick it up.
The major lesson that I have learned is to try to stick to normal photo proportions when cropping as it makes frame selection much easier.
