Dear all,
<div><br></div><div>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.&nbsp;</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Lodewijk</div><div><br></div><div>To bring back in memory, the following costs were estimated:&nbsp;</div><br>TOTAL: Worst case scenario:&nbsp;10.300 &euro;&nbsp;+ shipping&nbsp;&minus; Best-case scenario: 3.000&euro;<br>
<br>* Prizes (1.500&euro;)&nbsp;(if no sponsors&nbsp;are&nbsp;found)<br>* Printing&nbsp;500+&nbsp;calendars (WMPL will find budget locally):&nbsp;3.000 euro<br>* shipping&nbsp;+ boxes, winning messages and so on.&nbsp;( 200 for finalists + 300 for the chapters)&nbsp;<br>
* Intl. thankyou goodies (calendars will go for that now)<br>* grant system for chapters that need help. 1.500 euro&nbsp;<br>* Optional: Jury costs? (7 people&nbsp;(says 8 above)): 2.400 (travel) + 400 (hotel) + 200 (meeting room) + 300 (living costs) = 3.300 euro&nbsp;<br>
* Announcement costs? 1.000 euro (worst case)<div><br></div><div>please note:&nbsp;</div><div>* Hopefully printing costs will end up at zero</div><div>* Odder is still trying to find an estimate for shipping costs</div><div>* Jury costs we did not make a decision on, but I budgeted it in for worst case.</div>
<div>* Announcement costs are assuming that we cannot do that during DISH.&nbsp;</div><div>* This is on top of existing budget by Wikimedia Nederland (for travel costs etc)</div>
