So ? user:Michaelphoya

I would need you to put each budget line into a category

Possible categories do include

• Communication - Marketing (such as flyers, tee-shirts etc.)
• Marketing Campaign (such as Facebook ads, press expenses etc.)
• Stationary apart from marketing
• Internet and phone expenses
• Events (food, drinks, rent, air-conditioning, projector)
• Travel (train, bus, car, fuel)
• Salaries and stipends
• Gifts (books, amazon vouchers, prints etc.)
• Gifts in cash

Thanks

Hi user:Michaelphoya I agree with @Anthere:, you need to be more specific about what you are spending your money on. Also, this is quite a lot for 4/5 events. Please readjust your financial expectations (the budget does not have to, and should not go up to US$1000). Please detail where the events will take place.

Thanks guys. Sorry. Proposal was done in haste. Suggestions have been noted and will be implemented ASAP. Michaelphoya (talk) 14:43, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Anthere, Islahaddow On second thoughts, and with sincere apologies, we are withdrawing our proposal.

ok Michaelphoya. That's fine. I guess it can be very energy consuming and small teams do not always have time; This is also why we proposed that teams fine-tune their proposals depending on their energy level. If you have the will to do JUST one photo hunt and need support for that day, please feel free to ask (in the next couple of days. We'll probably finalise budget at the end of the week). If not, no problem. See you next year ;) Anthere (talk)

Thanks for understanding. Will get in touch, if need be. Otherwise, see you next year is right. Michaelphoya (talk)
