# Participate in a bounty

**Start by downloading the Gibwork mobile app.** Find bounties, submit your work, and follow your submission status from your phone.

[Download for iPhone](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/gibwork/id6757281508) · [Download for Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gibwork.app)

## 1. Download the app and sign in

Install Gibwork from the App Store or Google Play, then open the app and create an account or sign in. If you already use Gibwork, sign in to your existing account.

Use the latest version of the app to access the current submission tools.

## 2. Find a bounty that fits your skills

Browse available bounties and open one that interests you. Read the full description before starting.

Check:

* **The work:** What you need to do and what a finished submission should include.
* **Eligibility:** Any account, verification, or participation requirements.
* **The reward:** What is offered and the conditions for earning it.
* **The deadline:** When submissions close.
* **The proof:** Which links, files, screenshots, or other evidence you need to provide.

Choose a bounty whose requirements you can meet. Ask for clarification before doing the work if the instructions are unclear.

## 3. Complete the work and prepare your proof

Follow every requirement in the bounty. Prepare the finished deliverable and the evidence requested by its creator.

For example:

* **A social post:** Provide a direct link to the published post and check any required mentions, tags, or wording.
* **A design or document:** Provide the requested file or a shareable link with permission to view it.
* **A code contribution:** Provide the pull request or repository link requested in the brief.
* **Testing or feedback:** Describe what you tested, what happened, and include the requested evidence.

Make sure the reviewer can open your links and files. Submit your own work and give credit for any permitted third-party material.

## 4. Submit your work in the app

Return to the bounty in Gibwork and open its submission form.

1. Write a short explanation of what you completed and how it meets the requirements.
2. Add the requested proof, including direct links and any required images or attachments.
3. Check that your submission covers every requirement and that all links open correctly.
4. Send the submission, then check that it appears in your submission history or activity.

If your work lives on another platform, include its link in your Gibwork submission so the creator can review it.

### Example submission

For a bounty requesting a social post, your submission could read:

> I published the requested post and included the project mention and required hashtag.
>
> Post link: paste the direct URL here.
>
> Proof: include a screenshot if the bounty requires one.

Replace the example with details of the work you actually completed.

## 5. Follow the review in the app

Check the app for your submission status and any feedback. Your submission needs approval before you earn the bounty reward.

If changes are requested, address the feedback and use the editing or resubmission options available for that submission. Review timing depends on the bounty; check its instructions for any stated review schedule.

After approval, check your earnings and follow the payout instructions shown in the app.

**Keep the mobile app handy to track your submissions and manage your earnings.**
