Are you sure you understand the rules?   

It sounds like the exhibition rules that PSA uses, wherein the prints are 
mounted on mount board, without mats, frames or glass.   In that case, just use 
acid-free mount board, or possibly form-core board, and have the prints 
dry-mounted onto the boards.   The reason PSA uses this approach is to reduce 
shipping cost.   Their exhibits are held all over the world, and shipping 
framed 
prints is both costly and dangerous.   Prints mounted on mount boards or 
foam-core 
are much less expensive to ship.

The only approach that I am   familiar with for mounting a photo on glass is 
to use a product called 'Decal-It'.   The photo is coated with Decal-It, and 
when dry, the print is soaked in water with a little detergent in it, until the 
print backing is softened and can be removed.   That leaves the coated 
emulsion as a decal which can be attached to the glass.   

Does this help?   Best regard, David at the top of the Chesapeake Bay
