I'd say you can make a level both for this contest and then put it into SLAM (though that's not exactly encouraged)
I mean, that's almost half of the levels people submitted. I don't know if SLAM is the right word, they are just horizontal gimmicky levels like I would see in SLAM.

um? none of the submitted levels have been posted in the Slam forum.
Slam is a community project, if you make a level for it, you post it in the subforum.
(also I realized that slam is inactive for quite a few months)
Still using the legacy editor? Get SMBX2 and PGE, it will improve your experience significantly. Here's why. And remember, Yoshis are tools to be used and discarded.

I think what they mean is just that half the people submitted levels that have coherent ideas they develop throughout the level (one of the expectations for slam submissions and an easy way to make a level coherent in general). What I'm mostly wondering at this point is what other kinds of good levels cato expected to see more of.
Ideas are useless if you can't make them real.

What I'm mostly wondering at this point is what other kinds of good levels cato expected to see more of.
The way I think about SLAM levels is that they consist of theming, gimmicks throughout the level, with the use of devkit blocks to make setups. Of course, Lua scripts are also used. They would have standard 3-star coins and vertical/horizontal only sections.
With the said, besides from the first few levels people submitted, my level, that Uno level, that Snake level and the Geometry Dash level, I think all others are remotely close to being a SLAM level.
They are really good levels, at least when I played those, which itself put others at a lower spot. The non-SLAM levels are in one level, while SLAM levels are above the previous level. To be honest, I would expect levels that really have a good design like those you find in high-tiers back in the community contests.
It kinda makes the contest looks like a SLAM level contest as people resorted to following the trend of making shiny well-crafted SLAM levels like those good ones in Mario Maker 2. If I were to participate in any future contests, I would've used the gimmicks to fill the bottomless level rather than carefully placing blocks for the aesthetics.

Consider that this "slam like design" is just because people have become more familiar with deconstructing how nintendo makes levels in general. Previous contest winners also utilized four step design. The difference is that back then everyone else didn't know how to structure their levels.
I believe this is what you mean by "slam design". It's not iconic to slam at all.

I wish I came back to SMBX a few days earlier so I could make a level for this...

I wish I had made a level for this now that the amount of participants skyrocketed in the past days

The fact that the contest is numbered should be enough of a sign that this wasn't a standalone opportunity.

I'll be done with the 1 level left this week. (I was done like a month ago with 40/42 though, it's just 2 levels that I didn't get around to reviewing until as of late, schoolyear start was exhausting)

I have sent my reviews in during the end of July. Looking at the progress I can see, I might as well do a final check to see if I like my reviews or not. (See if I still agree to the scores and reviews I gave.)

Honestly the last judge or two need an ultimatum at this point because it's getting ridiculous.
The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
When silence drowns the screams
