Hey Justin,
As Teri mentioned they highly recommend the black frame and matting saying that the judges will take whole presentation into account. So yeah, I figured I didn't want to shoot my shots in the foot by mounting and framing them differently. Though each shot cost me about $100, even with picking up the frames at Aaron Brothers with the buy 1 get one for $1 sale.
Now as I went through the fair yesterday, there were a few photos that won that did not have matting. There were a couple that won that had no matting and the frames were brown... so not sure how much the judges do actually take into account that framing. Also I figured bigger was better, but then there were a few 8x10's with a non-matted frame that won... Mine and I think Tuans's were printed at 12x18 and then we matted and framed them to be 18x24.
It could be that the judges don't pay as much attention to the framing as rthe guidelines said, but as being a kind of gallery presentation I will say the display as a whole is more attractive with most of the photos being framed similarly.

Thanks for clearing that up Jim.
And I definitely agree, I think the display as a whole is more attractive with most of the photos framed similarly.
