Hi Casliber, is this grant application still live, or could it be closed? You will see from the [[Grants]] page that grants can be paid only to members of the charity, so you'd either [https://donate.wikimedia.org.uk/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=4 need to join] or include in the grant proposal a member who would receive the funds. --[[User:MichaelMaggs|MichaelMaggs]] ([[User talk:MichaelMaggs|talk]]) 14:30, 28 May 2015 (BST) | Hi Casliber, is this grant application still live, or could it be closed?

:For the record, Casliber have never personaly recieved any funds. The office have always directly paid any prizes to the eventual winners. If Wikimedia UK would like a member to be a "sponsor" of such competition grant application, I'll be happy to be such a member for this, Core, Stub, and/or GAN contest that Casliber would like to run. -- [[User:KTC|KTC]] ([[User talk:KTC|talk]]) 09:04, 29 May 2015 (BST) | :For the record, Casliber have never personaly recieved any funds.

Is it too early to discuss this? I'm not 100% comfortable this idea. Feels a bit like paid editing. Plus £250 while not a huge amount of money could be better spent on other things. Why not buy some fancy paper such as [http://www.printedpaperproducts.co.uk/index.php/certificates/a4-border-certificates/blue-certificate.html|this] and then put them in a nice presentation sleeve like [http://www.printedpaperproducts.co.uk/index.php/certificates/certificate-jackets-envelopes/marine-blue-silver-embossed-a4-jackets.html| this and give out winners and runners up certificates with maybe a box of quality street or a bottle of plonk if you really want to be generous. I've won several prizes for work in my lifetime and I have to say that the nice feeling you get is from the winning not from the actual value of whatever you win. | |||

Update?
Hi Casliber, is this grant application still live, or could it be closed? You will see from the Grants page that grants can be paid only to members of the charity, so you'd either need to join or include in the grant proposal a member who would receive the funds. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 14:30, 28 May 2015 (BST)
