Huge respect and gratitude to everyone mentioned here As a participant, it’s easy to take contests for granted, but posts like this really highlight how much effort goes on behind the scenes — from problem authors and coordinators to hundreds of testers ensuring quality and fairness.

Thank you for consistently delivering challenging, well-crafted rounds throughout the year. These contests are not just competitions, but learning milestones for so many of us. Wishing everyone involved a great New Year, and looking forward to another year of thinking, debugging, and learning on Codeforces!
