It's been a while since we've had a Codeforces contest, and many in the community, myself included, are starting to feel the absence. For those of us who rely on these contests for both challenge and growth, the break has been noticeable.

Codeforces has always been a hub for competitive programmers, offering frequent, high-quality contests that push our skills and keep us sharp. The excitement of competing, the drive to improve, and the sense of accomplishment after solving tough problems are unmatched. But unfortunately there has been no contest since 13 days. Also the last contest was unrated which killed the vibe and destroyed the zeal to solve the questions, also there is no new notification regarding upcoming contests except only 1 contest in the remaining month.

We understand that organizing contests takes effort, but the community is eager for their return. Regular contests keep the momentum going, and right now, that momentum has slowed. While we’re sure there are valid reasons behind this pause, it’s important to share updates with the community.

We miss the contests, and we’re ready for more. We hope the schedule resumes soon and that Codeforces continues to be the platform where competitive programmers thrive.

Until then, we keep practicing, but it’s just not the same without the thrill of live contests.
