Userlookup Spotlight has been cancelled

From today's news:

As we previously mentioned, changes would be coming to some contests and spotlights. Please note that this final winner concludes the Userlookup Spotlight contest. Thank you for all of your entries over the years!

This is incredibly disappointing. I know they said they were going cut back on holidays and events and stuff but is UL Spotlight really that resource intensive for them?

I just started playing Neopets again after a very long hiatus and this was the one contest I was excited to enter eventually. I always wanted to enter when I was a kid but didn't know how to code. Now I love writing HTML and CSS and have my own websites and side projects. This is so heartbreaking
