Entries for Shed of the Year 2026 are now open, sponsored this year by shed specialists Tiger.
This year marks the competition's 20th anniversary and will feature new categories as well as category sponsors, another first. These are:
- Eco haven (sponsored by British Garden Centres)
- Workshop/studio (sponsored by Horsforth Brewery)
- Most colourful shed (sponsored by Protek)
- Pub/entertainment (sponsored by Horsforth Brewery)
- Community shed (sponsored by St Gemma’s Hospice, Tiger’s chosen charity of the year)
- Cabin/summerhouse
- Budget champion
- Garden sanctuary (sponsored by British Garden Centres)
- Unexpected/unique (sponsored by Protek)
- Simple but effective
There are also two additional judged categories, Tiger in the Wild (the best Tiger shed entered into the competition) and regional winners from across the UK. The overall winner will be crowned in July.
A spokesman for Tiger said: "As the new lead sponsor, Tiger is proud to
support a competition that so perfectly embodies the philosophy that an
individual’s shed is their personal haven. A shared passion for garden
buildings and their transformative impact on people's lives forms the
foundation of this partnership. By stepping up to sponsor this
anniversary, Tiger is helping to ensure the future of a competition that
has brought joy and inspiration to thousands over the past two
decades."
"What makes this partnership feel so right is that Tiger is a genuine shed manufacturer," added Andrew Wilcox who runs readersheds.co.uk and established the competition. "They don’t just ‘get’ sheds; they live and breathe the craft, the passion, and the culture that we all love. They care about our community and want it to thrive, not just for the branding. Plus, with their incredible network of showsites across the UK, we’re going to be able to reach even more local shed-heads than ever before.
