We’re now running a regular weekly photography assignment in the Observer New Review and the first theme is ‘beginnings’.

You can share your photos by clicking on the blue ‘Contribute’ button on this article. You can also use the GuardianWitness smartphone app or the new Guardian app and search for ‘GuardianWitness assignments’.

Share your photos of what beginnings mean to you – and tell us about your image in the description box – and we’ll publish our favourites in The New Review on 5 October and in a gallery on the Guardian site. Here are some ideas to get you started.
