The spotlight isn't actually a spotlight. It's just an algorithm that chooses avatars based on a couple of factors (non-default HA features, 2+ items on the face layer, etc) that ends up usually choosing cool / interesting / attractive avatars.

There isn't a staff process of actually choosing good avatars like we do with the pet spotlight, which is why it isn't featured anywhere but the front page :)

If the heart on avatar system got some love, it could possibly replace the spotlight, but then it becomes a lot more of a popularity contest.

Locking :)
