Closed Competition: Re-open leaderboard

Hi all, hi @abhishek !

I enjoyed participating in the competitions on HF, I would thank to you for this experience. I have initiated three competitions here, and I believe it is an excellent method to practice and develop models to enrich our knowledge. I'm reaching out for two purposes:

  • Firstly, I was wondering about why completed competitions are currently paused. The competition descriptions are unavailable, the leaderboards are inaccessible, and new submissions aren't allowed. I believe enhancing the usability of competitions is crucial, as a competition doesn't necessarily end with its deadline. Keeping them accessible could be beneficial for newcomers who wish to delve into a particular topic.

  • Secondly, I'd like to offer some hints and feedback to enhance competitions on HF:

  1. Facilitate code sharing: In the competitions I've participated in, I've consistently used GitHub to share code. Perhaps you could simplify the sharing of code and knowledge, utilizing notebooks or
    external spaces connected directly to the competition with a dedicated tab. Further, the added value of HF compared to other platforms could be the ease of sharing models developed for the competition.

  2. Introduce the option to submit after the deadline for selected competitions, leading to a new leaderboard. This could be a relatively low-effort task that significantly improves the visibility of competitions on HF.
