Are you going to be in Edinburgh this August? If the answer is yes, we would love to see how your experience is looking*. Whether you are attending, performing or working at the fringe, browsing the books festival or even passing by, please share your best photos.

While we work to bring you the best coverage, including news, reviews, interviews, features and live blogs, we want you to be an active part in it: we will include your best photos in our reporting as it happens, and we will publish a selection of the best on the Guardian site.

Share your pictures and stories now by clicking on one of the blue “contribute” buttons or, if you’re out and about, you can use the GuardianWitness app on your smartphone – or search in the Guardian app for GuardianWitness assignments.

*If it is no, watch this space for ways in you can take part and for content created with everyone in mind, not just attendees – there is a lot in it for you as well.

• GuardianWitness is the home of user-generated content on the Guardian. Contribute your video, pictures and stories, and browse news, reviews and creations submitted by others. Posts will be reviewed prior to publication on GuardianWitness, and the best pieces will feature on the Guardian site.
