You were interested in how your face and hair looked. We were interested in honesty, courage and lack of self-consciousness. And on Monday our mutual concerns met. A panel of judges that included a professor of drawing, Stephen Farthing; the Turner Prize-winning artist Grayson Perry; and myself, an art critic, assembled to assess the entries for the Tate Times Drawing Challenge. The competition invited anyone from 11 to 17 to pick up their pencils and submit a self-portrait, the best of which would be displayed in the Tate. There were more than 1,000 entries.
