Finalists 2026

We are thrilled to announce our FACE Excellence finalist selection. This year with 119 entries to look through, our finalist judging panel have been humbled and delighted at the levels of depth and complexity our entrants have displayed.

With so much cultural exploration and celebration of themes and lived experience, we all emerge better educated about human beauty, style and identity.
