Editorial and Contents Page of the Bumper Green Harvest edition of Art Monthly Australia featuring Green Pens winner.

The Cooroora Institute encourages more critical writing and essays on green art as well as more green art itself.

Maurice O'Riordan, the editor of Art Monthly Australia, in association with the Cooroora Institute, ran an emerging writers' competition asking 'How green is your pen?' Winners were published in Art Monthly, received $2000, and got tickets to all Floating Land events (held at Boreen Point near Noosa, Qld at the end of June 2009). There were also publishing and mentoring opportunities for other outstanding entries. All work selected for publication has been offered an opportunity to write on the Noosa Biosphere Floating Land 10-day event with accommodation and free attendance, mentored by Tamsin Kerr, writer and director of the Cooroora Institute. Further article(s) will be published on-line, and may also be selected and paid for in a later book and/or magazine.
