From the stills faq -

[1.2.13] What's the precise end of the submission period? 

         Unless otherwise noted, the submission period continues through the
         last day of the round, which is normally the last day of the second
         month of the round. The official precise end of the submission period
         is 11:59:59 PM US Pacific Time on that day. 

[1.2.14] My rendering won't be finished until 2am the day after submission is
         closed--what can I do?
 
         The actual drop-dead moment is the instant that we generate the voting
         forms based on the images we have at that point. While we sometimes
         accept late entries, we never guarantee any extensions. Please always
         try to get your entry submitted well before the deadline.
