Cornwall Shed of the Year entries in the running for the British title

Sheddies are gearing up as the annual Cuprinol Shed of the Year competition returns for its 18th year – and we’ve got a selection of early entries from Cornwall in the running for the UK title. This year, for the first time, the competition will hold the Young Sheddie of the Year title.

Aspiring architects and colorful makers between the ages of 18 and 25 can share the sheds they’ve brought to life, whether they’re used for work, play or a place to relax. The Young Sheddie of the Year is also an opportunity to showcase creations that have been bought up for generations in the family.




The new category is just one of seven that Sheddie hopefuls can enter to be in with a chance of winning a whole new prize. As well as £1,000 cash and £250 of Cuprinol products, this year’s winner will also receive an exclusive overnight stay at a relaxing nature resort.

Head judge and competition founder Andrew Wilcox is as intrigued as ever to see what this year’s entrants bring to the table.


“It will be very fascinating to see how the coming summer of sporting events could inspire entries in our pub and entertainment category. We’ve seen an increasing number of entrants using recycled materials and making more sustainable choices when it comes to creating their sheds – these are factors we’ll be considering closely as we select the finalists for the Nature’s Haven category this year year.”

Hopefuls can enter now by going to www.readersheds.co.uk and sharing a minimum of six images of the shed, along with an explanation of the inspiration behind the creation and why it’s the one to beat. Entries for this year’s competition will close on Friday 31 May 2024 at midnight.
