At the end of A SmokeLong Summer 25, the participants will have the opportunity to enter all five of the summer competitions. Each participant may enter each competition once. These competitions—for the novella-in-flash/memoir-in-flash, novel excerpt, narrative poetry, flash fiction, and flash CNF—are open only to participants of A SmokeLong Summer 25. Individual guidelines will be published in the workshop in June. In general, all work must have been workshopped in A SmokeLong Summer 25.
