HOLLY SPRINGS, N.C. - OFM, which manufactures and distributes office and school furniture, has kicked off its "New Year, New Office" contest. Contestants who own or work at a small business registered in the United States with 50 employees or less can enter to win a new OFM office chair, desk and storage unit by submitting a photo of their current office and a brief description of why they deserve a makeover.

"We??ve found that people are happier and more productive when they work in an office with newer and more comfortable furniture," said Abel Zalcberg, co-founder and chief executive officer of OFM, in a press release. "What better time of year to start fresh than now?"

To enter, contestants must email a photo in JPEG format of their current office space and a brief paragraph explaining why they deserve to win to newyear@ofminc.com. Then they must follow OFM on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ofminc. Qualifying photos will be posted on OFM??s Facebook page where contestants can encourage their friends, family and coworkers to "like" their photo. The contest runs from Jan. 15 to Feb. 28.

OFM will notify the contest winner by email on Monday, Mar. 7, 2011. The winner will receive the furniture free of cost and free of any shipping or delivery charge, but they will be solely responsible for any taxes.

"We know small businesses often work out of less than ideal work spaces and this contest is made for them," said Zalcberg. "We expect the competition to be tough and the winner to be richly deserving of some new high-quality office furniture for a happier and healthier new year."
