You will have nearly three months to work on your assignment, which will be due May 20. The fest will run from June 10 - July 10, thus bypassing all the hooplah of OotP coming out on the 13th, Sectus running the following week and then HP&tDH releasing on the 21st.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact either Jamie or me. And, yes, we are still wrapping up the winter fest, so look for a master list soon!
