     Personally I don';t like children to enter contests - my school expects it
    of
     me because of the precedent already set - the outcome of the contests
     sometimes gives a non-winning child a negative message about their art work.

    I absolutely agree with you and that other teacher was cheating. A simple off
    white mat, and a plain frame or gallery clips is quite enough. Framing should
    not interfere with the image. I dont like contests either...they reflect
    adult values of art, that other teacher knew that.
