This maintains the spirit of the competition, while also allowing individuals to submit their own creative work without jeopardy of a higher-scoring notebook being available for an automatic higher rank (through copy/submit). We disable the publishing of public notebooks within the final week of the competition, but encourage you to use your best judgement for time prior to that.</p>\n<p>Happy Modeling!</p>",
