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 € + shipping − Best-case scenario: 3.000€ * Prizes (1.500€) (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) _______________________________________________ Wiki Loves Monuments mailing list WikiLovesMonuments(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments http://www.wikilovesmonuments.eu

Hi Nico, I tried to give an indication of the total budget in my first email in this thread. Please let us know if and how much WMCH would be willing to reserve for this. If there are only a few chapters willing/able to chip in, we would be able to cut back on expenses of course, but first of all I need to know who would /in principe/ be willing to spend money on this and what order of magnitude, then I could try to split up the budget and give exact amounts. Thanks, Lodewijk
