Breaking news--and there's a deadline on this, people! This is a chance to have your business mentioned on a major mainstream news site, so hop to this--this is big!

BusinessWeek Online wants to create a photo essay of readers' standout home-based offices.

What do they mean by "standout"? Here's what they say:

"We are looking for unique spaces from which you run your home-based business today. Do you work from a tent on the beach, a tree house, or the back of a truck?"

Now, my home office is pretty hum-drum, but I know some of you folks work in some really interesting places--on yachts, from RVs, in trailers on the beach.

Some of you guys are very creative with your office spaces, so please enter this contest so I can live vicariously through you and your fame! (I will still enter cuz there's always a chance, but I am not expecting to win, seeing as though my office is bo-reen.)

The deadline is May 30--so hop on this! And follow BusinessWeek's instructions exactly (full details are here):

Send us a brief description of your workspace along with one digital image no more than 1MB in size to onphoto@businessweek.com by May 30. Be sure to write "Home-based Businesses Special Report photo essay participant" in the subject line of your e-mail. Tell us what you do and what distinguishes your space from a conventional office. Remember: Entrants must be running their own home-based business on a full-time basis, and have been at it for a minimum of one year. We will feature a selection of outstanding work spaces in an upcoming special report in photo-essay format and ask readers to vote on their favorites.

Doh! How I wish I could say that I work from a tree house (maybe next year--fingers crossed!).

And thank you to Gavin Heaton who was sweet enough to let me know about this opportunity.
