We have seen with the DAO members and community members (according to their suggestions) that it is better to take the project one step after the other by first starting our onboarding journey from the students community before reaching out to the wider community to onboard people who are not opportuned to be in the university or other higher institutions.
With this, we are now focusing on the university event and have reduced our proposed budget to $3000 which will cover only the university event.
Hi @doxe01.eth , I really appreciate your concern for this project, and I’m happy to clarify you on the budget again.
Since the marketing section of this proposal has been suspended, team now has more time to involve students from other campuses that makes up the university (which are at different locations), which will result in having more students participating in the event, and also having a larger hall (venue). So we consider hiring buses to convey students from these campuses to the main campus for the event, and also take them back after the event. Hence, the inclusion of some items and the change in price of some items on the list.
• Lights and Sound - $100
• DJ - $50
• Protocol/security - $150
• Talent hunt winners - $600
• Refreshment - $500
• Fliers and Swag - $400
• Event coordinators - $500
• Campus media team (To cover the event and create more awareness) - $250
• Transport fare for students from other campuses - $300
