The Luminous green publication aims to become a resource for people who would like to work and live in a 'luminous green way': imaginative, electrified and illuminated. As such, it should go beyond being a catalogue of individual projects, but provide a glimpse of worlds in which we'd like to live and that we'd like to help create. This publication should reflect a 'luminous green' spirit and have a relatively lasting value as a record of current thinking, growing and making in the context of creativity & sustainability. As we want to publication to appeal to diverse audiences, it should avoid jargon wherever possible.

The publication will have an online and a hard copy component. The contributions for the online publication can be more informal and blog-like. The hard copy publication will have a more rigorous selection of contributions and a stronger editorial 'stamp'.

Tentative publishing date: early 2009.

If you would like to contribute to the Luminous Green Publication, below is a list of recommendations for authors and artists.

• Short contributions: Up to 1500 words, with or without images.

The Luminous Green publication encourages a variety of contributions. These can include, but are not limited to:

• Theoretical articles (not necessarily following strict academic standards)
• Travelogues
• Manuals (how to…)
• Artistic documentation
• Interviews
• Short statements
• Manifestos
• Poems
• Stories
• Commented code
• Recipes
• …

• For longer texts: 'serious' magazine style, with a touch of academic rigour (only where appropriate).

• For short contributions: where images are a dominant medium, we can allow more 'frivolity', i.e. the contributions could bring a more 'airy', or poetic atmosphere to the publication.

• Policy regarding “Personal Journey/Insight/Revelation about Myself” genre in articles: to be avoided, but if deemed necessary, it should be well-written and relevant to a wider audience.

Images can be submitted as:

• Individual Photographs and Illustrations: Colour or B/W, high resolution (preferably 300dpi, if not available, then as large as you can get them), in any digital format (such as .jpg, .tiff, .eps, .psd, .xcf, .pdf), with captions.

• Photo Essays: Up to 10 images, high resolution, numbered colour or B/W, with captions,
• Single or series of images as a part of a textual contribution: Up to 5 images (unless otherwise agreed, contact us if you want to include more than 5 images). For each image follow instructions for individual photographs.

Naming convention: use your last name and a number, such as “smith1.tiff, smith2.tiff, etc.”
