CQWW contests in 2024?

This was, perhaps, the biggest set of contests in the world. Even without submitting a score, it gave many a chance to work new countries and US states. 

With the demise of CQ magazine, it is not clear what the situation is in 2024. Looking at the website, you could be forgiven for thinking it is still on. However, that information may have been put up ages ago, before the magazine closed. 

This is one of my pet hates - not knowing the date the webpages were updated, but that is a different story.

If anyone can tell me if it is on or off, please let me know.

For the CQ Magazine entry on wikipedia "While CQ has sponsored these contests, the administration of these contests is now done via independent contest committees under the auspices of the World Wide Radio Operators Foundation (WWROF). WWROF administers the infrastructure for contest log submission, log checking, and performs other services in support of the contests."
