All artwork auctioned at Faces in the Wild is generously donated by artists and designers worldwide. The 2007 entries include donations from Terence Woodgate, Marcel Wanders, Yves Behar and Tom Dixon. Artwork is also judged by a panel of distinguished design and architecture leaders in the categories of Best Use of Environmental Materials, Best Representation of an Animal, and Best Overall Design. The 2007 judges include Richard Doone, Managing Director, Conran & Partners; John Small, Partner, Foster & Partners; and Ian Rudge, Founder, Tent.

Humanscale will match each winning bid, and the total funds raised will be divided equally between WWF and the John Aspinall Foundation. To encourage extra-generous bidding, the John Aspinall Foundation will award the evening's highest bidder a VIP trip to the John Aspinall Wildlife Sanctuary in Kent, an English county southeast of London, at a value of $2,000. The day trip will include transportation and a private guide. The sixth annual Faces in the Wild auction raised more than $24,000.
