Grants talk:Project/Rapid/WMCA/Wiki Loves Earth 2017 in Canada

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

Dear Amqui and team,

Thanks for engaging us in this review process. We are happy to fully support Wikimedia Canada's efforts in organizing its first Wiki Loves Earth! I'm looking forward to learning from the results of this initiative and to see who and where this contest will reach. Once Delphine (WMF) has approved this submission, I'll be in contact with you with more details. Thanks once more to Wikimedia Canada for your work leading up to Wikimania and beyond. Félicitations!

Cap Gaspé, La fin des terres :)
Allo, thank you very much, I made Gaspésie into the very first good article on French Wikivoyage and parc national de la Gaspésie followed closely :) Hopefully we will get good pictures for those. Merci encore ! Amqui (talk) 13:15, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Changes[edit]

Good day, I would like to re-allocate some funds within this grant.

The reasons are:

  1. The first prize was a scholarship to attend Wikimania 2017. However, none of the winners could attend the conference.
  2. As a result, some funds remain unspent.
  3. I would like to use those funds for the printing of posters of the 10 Canadian winners to do exhibitions and promote the contest and the Wikimedia projects in Canada.

The new budget would be as follows. The remaining unspent budget would be returned to WMF at the end of this grant.

Item Cost (CAD)
Prizes
3x Gifts cards for photographic equipment 400,00
Printing of posters
Printing 10x large posters 611.67
Others
Admin fee (postages, etc.) 55.00
Original request 2,603.00
Updated total 1,066.67
Unspent amount to be returned 1,536.33

Thanks, Amqui (talk) 17:36, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
