I've just finished uploading a couple of new pictures (with the help of Uncle Wilco, organizer of the competition). Some of you may remember I was a category winner in 2009, and was therefore automatically entered in to last year's competition, but being a little (okay, a lot) switched off, I didn't realize this until voting had almost ended and pretty much missed most of the fun involved in taking part.
This year I'm a little more on the ball (thanks to a reminder email...) and as The Plotting Shed aka Grumpy's Palace has had a bit of a makeover since 2009 and the inside of the shed has seen a few changes, notably the arrival of my tatty, but much beloved, pink Lloyd Loom chair, I thought I'd update the photos.
So, although the public voting doesn't start until 17th May (don't worry, I'll remind you closer to the time) I thought I'd add a link to the site where you can see a few more pictures.
The judges include Sarah Beeny, Simon Mayo, Gordon Thorburn, with the winner receiving £1,000 and various other prizes. If you have a shed you may also want to enter one of the categories for this competition. I've entered mine in the Garden Office Category, however there are others, including Eco Shed, Cabin/Summerhouse, Tardis, Pub Shed, Workshop/Studio, Normal Shed, etc. The link to enter is here. You can find out more by following Shedblog.co.uk or following @unclewilco on Twitter.

Pimping out Grumpy to compete in the shed contest? No wonder he looks a bit testy! :-)
Your shed looks like a wonderful place to work and hang out,Debs. Certainly wouldn't be a hardship to hang out here, even if it's for red pen work!
I so love sheds! Yours looks so inviting.
Oh No! My comment disappeared... it's because I said that I'd blown your shed up to have a good look at both at Grumps sitting there wondering why you were taking photos of HIS shed! Good luck, Debs, I'll be casting my vote when the time comes.
I *Love* your shed. :O)

Make sure you remind us in plenty of time because I seem to be so behind with everything at the moment.
I just love your shed. Good luck - and I'm sure Grumps will get you lots of votes!
shirley - I'll definitely post about it closer to the time. Thanks.x
I am very envious Debs! Looks a fab shed a d no wonder Grumps is so proprietorial about it! I shall be casting my vote too...
I was so taken with the shed I didn't even notice Grumps and wondered what everyone was talking about. (Not really a dog person - sorry - I'm sure he's lovely!)
Good luck with the comp!
(Word verification is 'cound' - concealed hound maybe?)
Gorgeous shed, Debs. I'm so SO jealous! Good luck with the competition!
I have shed envy!! (Now there is something I never expected to say in my lifetime!).
Good luck in the comp

I thought I should get my butt over here after so long, although the swim is rather tiring and it's so far. lol :) Just love your shed, shed lady...It is remarkable. Please also remind me when the time is nearer.
Suzanne :)
Looks fab :)
Gorgeous shed - and is that Richard Armitage pinned on the wall?
I love your shed so much and you know how much I want one of my own! I will def be voting for you in May :)
flowerpot - he does think it's his personal place, which it probably is.
bernadette - my son would probably agree with you where Grumps is concerned. He loves dogs, but mine drives him mad (though I think he secretly loves him).
I love the word verification.
talli - thanks m'dear.
carol - I know what you mean, I never thought I'd spend any time at all in a shed, let alone love doing it.

suzanne - thanks so much. Voting doesn't start till 17 May, so I'll post about it near that time.x
What a gorgeous shed you have. I'm very envious. I could do with one of those myself.
Couldn't help noticing you have a Richard Armitage pic in there. Is it a signed one ?
amandajane17 - thanks for liking my shed so much.
The RA picture is not signed, unfortunately. I'd love it if it was though.
