Hi Tomasz,
if every country chooses one time zone, for Russia it would be indeed logical to have Moscow time (which is the same as Saint Petersburg time), and they are one hour ahead of Ukraine and Belarus. (Kaliningrad time would be the same as Ukraine). I do not know how it would work with the US and with Canada, where there is no one preferred zone, but I completely agree with Lodewijk that it is up to them to decide - just at any location the beginning time should be the same as the closing time.
Cheers Yaroslav

Hi Yaroslav, no, my original plan was to start the campaign when the mainland part of the countries you mentioned (especially the US and France) start the competition.
The problem we have with Russia is that the scope of the project is not yet known to us, so I planned to run the UploadCampaign and the CentralNotice banners on September 1 00:00 local time in Saint Petersburg. I also planned to end the campaign in Canada and the US on October 1 00:00 PDT (Pacific Daylight Time), but if there are some good reasons not to do that, I'm open to hear them :-))
Thanks
