We expect the contest to begin in late April, once B&H re-opens after the Passover holiday.

I assume 'Passover' is some kind of US holiday?
How about regular dates for those of us in the rest of the world?
( in the international standardized format of Day-Month-Year would be super nice too )

You really do not know what Passover is?

Passover - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's a Jewish holiday, and because B&H is run by Orthodox Jews, the store closes for all their major holidays. B&H will re-open next Wednesday, and I expect to be able to launch the contest shortly thereafter since they're sponsoring the prizes.

Yes, it is a time of the year when you have to pass over getting gear from B&H for an extended period of time.*

*(I am kidding, of course, it's a Jewish religious holiday as previous posters said.)

Racer : Nope, why should I, from the other answers, it's a religious event, I don't 'do' any of those, for me, they're just a nuisance when I go to do stuff and places are closed.
