Who Will be Shed of the Year 2008? Tardis, Beach Hut or Humble Shed.
Cardiff, United Kingdom, May 16, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The race is on to win the coveted Shed of the Year title which will be held this summer as part of the second National Shed Week.
This year they are very pleased to announce that one of the UK's leading online garden building companies, Garden Buildings Direct will be the official sponsor and shed partner for this year's Shed Week and will be providing the prize for the Shed of the Year Competition.
The grand prize will total £500 and the winner will be able to choose products from Garden Buildings Direct or products from one of their sister websites selling extensive ranges of garden furniture, outdoor toys, fitness equipment and BBQ’s.
Organised by the internationally famous readersheds.co.uk, National Shed Week (which runs from July 7 until July 13 2008) will celebrate one of the cornerstones of British culture, the not so humble Garden Shed.
Can this year's sheddies beat the wonderful and unique sheds that we showcased in the inaugural Shed Week last year, including the amazing Shed of the Year 2007 which was a Roman Temple built by Tony Rogers?
This year's judges are property guru Sarah Beeny, wind-up radio inventor Trevor Baylis, Professor of beach huts Kathryn Ferry, Shedworking expert Alex Johnson and Eco-architect Lloyd Alter.
Sheddies are still welcome to "Share their Sheds" and can enter their buildings on the website ready for the judging in Late June.
