Mounting question.

I have a question with regards to mounting for Merits.

The rules currently state the following:-

"The print must be backed with a suitable flush mounted backing board to prevent damage to other prints. The backing must have no exposed tape."

With this in mind would it be valid to submit a print, whereby the entire back of the print and mount is the back of the print itself, if the print is flush to the edges? Rather than mount the print to the board, a mountboard frame has been adhered to a print which has sufficient excess border space around the viewable image to allow it to be flush with the outside edge of the mountboard frame. It is therefore flush, with no exposed tape and would not damage other prints.

As such will it be eligible for entry?
