Sheddies - Welcome to Shed of the year 2022 #shedoftheyear
Happy New Shed year Sheddies!
Welcome to the 16th Year of Shed of the year - the last few years have been very difficult for everyone - but I think the not so humble shed has come to the rescue of so many people, we are happy to be have played a small part of that - by celebrating and inspiring you via this competition
We have not made the big launch announcement in the press yet (next month, look out for it) - but we are getting a few early entries in so far, so hope to feature some in the upcoming press.
We have kept the lockdown category for 2022 - as a lot of people continued to use covid lockdown last year to create their space for the future.
All the categories
So feel free to start to enter your sheds, sheddies readersheds.co.uk/add
We have a new server so be gentle, and if you have issues adding photos then feel free to follow the prompts when you enter, and email the photos or share them on WeTransfer (if you have more than 20 - we like lots of photos)
If there is a delay after you have added your shed before it's live on the site don't worry - I'm doing them in batches as we are getting more fake sheds - so I check everyone!
And a massive thanks to Cuprinol for Sponsoring the Shed of the year competition - they have supported us for the last 10- years

I love the ladybird illustrations and the few shed ones there are, this is the best by far.
Other work by the Ladybird artists.
