Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Now in its seventh year, the Shed of the Year competition is again proving that the UK still leads the world when it comes to back garden microarchitecture.
The 2013 competition received 2,000 entries and there were 14,000 public votes leading to the eight category winners featured in our gallery above. The overall winner will be chosen by a panel of judges including Sarah Beeny, Kevin McCloud, Shed of the Year organiser Uncle Wilco from readersheds.co.uk, Alex Johnson from the Shedworking blog, and last year's winner John Plumridge. The result will be announced during National Shed Week in the first week of July.
