"With August more than half over, we've already got autumn on our minds. Even though the equinox won't occur for another month, Labor Day in the United States is just one week away, signifying the unofficial end of our summer. \nMany students have already begun the school year anew, and more are poised to start in the coming weeks. Whether heading off to college or just starting a new year, it's a chance for a fresh start. \nLikewise, recent graduates have probably started new jobs or moved to new places in the last few months \u2014 some may be in that process now, after a summer off or interning. Either way, the closing of summer presents plenty of opportunity for renewal.\n\nSEE ALSO: 17 Homegrown Photos Plucked From Your Backyards\nLast week for our Photo Challenge, we asked you to send us photos that symbolized departure. You submitted photos of soldiers leaving for duty, wistful embraces, airplane terminals and even an Indian wedding. We know that goodbyes can be bittersweet, but you explored the theme wholeheartedly. \nThis week, we're riffing on a similar theme, but we're flipping the script a bit. We want to see your photos of something fresh. Whether a fresh start or something fresh in a more literal sense \u2014 a plant growing in your garden or a brand new pair of sneakers \u2014 we want to see how you interpret fresh through photography. \nHow to Enter the Challenge\n\nTweet a photo that symbolizes freshness to @mashablehq with the hashtag #MashPics. If you need more than one tweet to write your caption, just send us another tweet. OR\nDrop your photo into the picture widget below.\n\nSubmit your photo by Tuesday, Aug. 28 at 5:00 p.m. EST. We will choose some of the top images based on composition, originality and overall appeal. These pictures will be featured on Mashable, as well as on our Facebook and Pinterest pages.\n\n\n\n\n\nImage courtesy of Flickr, marfis75"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
