As much as I'd like to see them stay Jeff said there won't be another. I'm working on a project of my own though it's based more for EA users as an informational kind of thing but I know that it being a 3rd party application I won't be anywhere near finished with it within the next few weeks since I'm doing it in a language I"m not overly familiar with(VB.NET).
Me I'd argue that if they keep doing competitions then eventually they'll catch on. Doing 1-2 and calling it quits is kinda like saying you don't believe anyone cares. Lot of us are hobbyist programmers and haven't done more than write small scripts that have little complexity or don't understand fully what we are doing. Competitions will further us along the line of achieving some understanding and expand what we can do. The Rules help us follow the rules of writing good code by making commentation mandatory it's a habit too many of us don't have and really should. It also makes us think about why we are doing something vs just doing it not understanding why.
