Dear all,
After I returned home, I realized that even though we made a wonderful budget for the European part of Wiki Loves Monuments, we did not decide how to split it up amongst the European chapters. Please find below the estimated costs. I would like to ask the chapters that can spare it, to consider contributing to this budget. More specifically, I would like to get at least a reply from: France, Germany, Netherlands, Poland and Switzerland whether they would be able to take a share in this budget.
Thanks,
Lodewijk
To bring back in memory, the following costs were estimated:
TOTAL: Worst case scenario: 10.300 EURO + shipping - Best-case scenario: 3.000 EURO
* Prizes (1.500 EURO) (if no sponsors are found) * Printing 500+ calendars (WMPL will find budget locally): 3.000 euro * shipping + boxes, winning messages and so on. ( 200 for finalists + 300 for the chapters) * Intl. thankyou goodies (calendars will go for that now) * grant system for chapters that need help. 1.500 euro * Optional: Jury costs? (7 people (says 8 above)): 2.400 (travel) + 400 (hotel) + 200 (meeting room) + 300 (living costs) = 3.300 euro * Announcement costs? 1.000 euro (worst case)
please note: * Hopefully printing costs will end up at zero * Odder is still trying to find an estimate for shipping costs * Jury costs we did not make a decision on, but I budgeted it in for worst case. * Announcement costs are assuming that we cannot do that during DISH. * This is on top of existing budget by Wikimedia Nederland (for travel costs etc)
