  1. Hi there I thought that you might be interested in this design competition too. It's been running for 7 weeks now and the closing date is midnight GMT on 31st October 2009.

    It is a Shed Design Competition where the challenge is to design your perfect Garden Office.

    The entry page is here:

    I hope that you can include this on your list we have some great entries already, but there is lots of room for more!

  6. Read the fine print on the Vaughn Benz site- for a $750 prize, you give up all rights to your design including royalties if it's manufactured. Sounds like a great deal for them.
