Portfolio Review - Request for a presentation recommendation

[JerryReed]

I intend to schedule several portfolio reviews later this year and next, and would appreciate responses from photographers as to HOW the reviewer expects that the work will be presented.  I bought a clam-shell type box that will accommodate 16 by 20 inch items.

Specifically, do reviewers expect the images to be 1) mounted 2) mounted and with a matte or 3) loose images?  Incidentally, all my images are shown  in square format.

A consideration for me is that the paper that I like, Epson Exhibition Fiber, is quite easily scratched.  Does someone have a work around for this aspect of my art pieces?

I'd also like to hear what the recommendations or conventions are, as I'm considering attending such an even in the fall.

As for scratching, matting them and/or using interleaving paper should help with that.
