Face Britain, devised by The Prince's Foundation for Children & the Arts is a celebration of the nation's children and young people in the lead up to the Diamond Jubilee and the London Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Face Britain invited children aged 4-16 years to produce their own self-portraits enabling them to explore their creativity and to consider their own identity and place in history as the 2012 generation. Portraits at all levels of skill, and in any medium were acceptable, including drawing, textiles, 3D, painting, graphics, and photography.

Early engagement with the arts has a positive impact on young people, especially those hardest to reach through mainstream education: raising aspirations, increasing confidence, developing communication skills, and improving academic performance in class. Since 2006 Children & the Arts has worked with more than 100 arts organisations across the UK and introduced over 100,000 children to the arts, and has ambitious plans to build on this in the future.
