Send in your photos of Africa: Exercise, cities, hair and the colour orange Published duration 18 March 2013

The BBC News website wants your digital photographs of Africa to feature in themed galleries.

At the moment we are seeking pictures on the following three subjects:

Exercise: Photos of people running, boxing, playing football, training for any sport - or working up a sweat by perhaps pushing a wheelbarrow.

City life: Photos of the hustle and bustle of Africa's cities, from commuters to businessmen chatting on their mobiles or perhaps famous city landmarks.

Hairdos : Photos of interesting hairstyles or hairdressers at work braiding hair, or perhaps shops that sell wigs.

: Photos of interesting hairstyles or hairdressers at work braiding hair, or perhaps shops that sell wigs. The colour orange: Photos of sunsets and baked mud roads - or maybe fires and orange fruit and vegetables on sale at the market - anything orange.

A selection of the photos sent to us will be put on the site, so please send us your name, where you live and some brief details about the picture you took.

If you take a picture of any event, you should not endanger yourself or others, take any unnecessary risks or infringe any laws.
