has kindly helped with the judging of this competition and the supply

the Alternative Workplace Revolution.What is a Porch Shed and what is the design brief?A porch, balcony, verandah or deck at the entrance to a shed forms the transition between the garden and the interior space. In the winter months it is a spot to get shelter from the rain while you fumble for your keys, in the summer months it becomes a glorious place to sit outside enjoying the garden or lazing in your hammock with a long cool drink.Porch designs come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes so use your imagination to come up with the ultimate porch for a shed, it may be a simple classic design or a complete wrap around, it could be very clean lines or richly decorated the choice is yours.  This sketch is my very first simple attempt.. I know you can do better! To submit your entry just follow these three easy steps:1. Create your Porch Shed Design shed using the design brief above.  This could be using easy to use
computer software such as Sketchup
which was the method used by Kenny Van Den Berghe to produce to the
winner in our 2009 competition.or  Use traditional drawing materials which was the
choice made by Anna-Marie Buss the winner of the competition in 2008.Or some other method! 2. Tell us a bit about how you reached your design decisions Some basic hints on shed design are here. In an international competiton such as this there will entries from temperate climates such as the UK as well entries in locations of extreme heat and cold. Tell the judges in as many words as you need how the porch will benefit the shed in terms of visual appeal and functionality. 3. The judging for the prize will be in two stages: Stage One: Once your entry has been accepted e-mail your friends, workmates and relations and get them to comment on your entry to give support and encouragement. The number of comments will be one of many factors in the judges deliberations. Stage Two The competition will close for entries on 15th May 2010 giving the three judges just over 2 weeks to decide on the 3 winners. The results of their deliberations will be announced on the 3rd of June 2010 to coincide with the launch of the New Shedworking book. The judges are:
