RTF Competiton Starting October 3rd -voting for subjects now CLOSED

For the many of you asking how the subjects are chosen here is a brief overview.

You have made suggestions in this thread - which is still open for further ideas for subjects

Here they are:

They have all been transferred to a column of a spreadsheet and they are randomly selected using this formula: =INDEX(B5:B,RANDBETWEEN(1, (COUNTA(B5:B))))

The subjects are ibdexed, the COUNTA function finds out how many subjects are in the index and the RANDBETWEEN selects a number between 1 and the value returned by COUNTA.

The process is run three times - or more if a seasonal subject like “Clouds and Daffodils” is drawn in, say, mid-October. The three subjects are then presented for you to vote on your favourite. The two "losers are then returned to the subject pool.

Be warned - as the process is partly random, partly vote by GADC members the Challenge Committee members feel that they are sufficiently divorced from the subject selection process to enter the competiton without being accused of having any advantage.
