Thank you so much to those who funded our cash prizes in 2024: @The_Wolf, @Dave_Bryan, @Stephen_Bean, @James_Lennox, @Vanessa_the_Guesser, @Crunchy_Chords, @Troompa_Loompa, @Karen_Oakenfull and @C_CaMel You made it possible for us to award £50 per month, and £240 in Dave Awards. Your generosity and community spirit keeps [caption.me](http://caption.me) alive and kicking – and growing 📈 # 2025 Prize Fund @James_Lennox and @Stephen_Bean are the first contributors to the 2025 prize fund, donating their Dave Awards back to the site - thank you both! 🙏 I’ll chuck in £100 too, so we begin with £190. We aim to fund a single cash prize of £50 per month, and any excess funds will go to the Dave Awards 2025. So we’ll need to raise at least £600. Your contributions are massively appreciated. ## How to Contribute Please send a single payment using this link: > **[Pay Chris Beach using PayPal.Me](https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/captionme)** > > Go to PayPal.Me/captionme and enter the amount.
