Do You Have the Best Garden Shed in Britain? Take Part in Shed of the Year at readersheds.co.uk
"Do you have a garden shed that is unique?" asks Uncle Wilco head sheddie of readersheds.co.uk. "Maybe it's your own little bolthole away from the trials of life. Maybe you have converted your humble garden building into a pub, or it's just a normal wooden building that's special to you."
Cardiff, United Kingdom, January 30, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Entries are already flooding in for Shed of the Year 2008.
"Do you have a garden shed that is unique?" asks Uncle Wilco head sheddie of readersheds.co.uk. "Maybe it's your own little bolthole away from the trials of life. Maybe you have converted your humble garden building into a pub, or it's just a normal wooden building that's special to you."
If you as a sheddie are proud of your shed then now's the time to enter this year's 'Shed of the Year' competition, which takes part in the second National Shed Week commencing July 7th 2008.
This year's celebrity judges are shed fancier and property guru Sarah Beeny and shed-based inventor of the windup radio, Trevor Baylis.
They will be joined by shed working expert Alex from shedworking.co.uk, professor of beachhuts, Dr Kathryn Ferry and Uncle Wilco, head sheddie from readersheds.co.uk and organiser of National Shed Week.
Together they will be deciding if your shed will make the grade and take the top shed crown.
Following a public vote starting June 2008 which will produce a shortlist of winners, the judges will pick their "Shed of the Year 2008" during National Shed Week itself.
Readers can see last year's winner was Tony from Reading with his amazing folly modelled on a Roman temple at http://www.readersheds.co.uk/tony
Sheddies can join Tony - whose shed was featured in many national newspapers and on television - and the hundreds of other sheddies by 'sharing your shed' on the internet's favourite shed fan site - www.readersheds.co.uk
