Decisive Challenge Summer 2013. Dates? Tell Us.

Take the poll on the right side of this layout to let us know what weekend you would prefer for the Summer '13 Decisive Challenge. We want your feedback so please vote!

The Winners of the Decisive Challenge Winter 2012 are...


Well the votes have been counted and it was a terrific competition! 39 different images received votes with 28 different images getting first place votes. We had runaway winner this year in terms of points but the competition for the rest of the prize positions was very tight. For ties we used the number of first place votes as a tie breaker. 3 points were given for first, 2 for second and 1 for a third place vote.

And so, with no further ado, I will announce the winners of the Winter 2012 Decisive Challenge. Winners will be contacted in order of finish to select the remaining prize of their choice. Thanks again to the incredibly generous RFF members who donated this terrific set of prizes!!

The winners of the 2012 Winter Decisive Challenge are:

1st Place: Man Centered Square Triangles by Clint Troy on RFF.



















2nd Place: Indecisive Moment by thompsonks on RFF.














3rd Place: Chinatown 1889 by Warren T. on RFF.
