The organisers say, “Every year HM is represented by a famous ‘face’, to inspire you to create….this year we have 4! Benjamin Britten, Angela Morley, Bessie Smith, Ethel Smyth”

The four seem to have been chosen to give each of the letters of the LGBT acronym representation.

2013’s theme was science, maths and engineering, while 2012’s – tying in to the Olympics – was sport.
