# Awarding bounties on bug reports

Once you have acknowledged the report as a valid finding, you can now award it a bug bounty. Other programs wait until the bug report is resolved but most of the programs prefer to award a bug bounty once the finding has been confirmed as valid.

To award a bounty, kindly follow the guide below:

* Go to [submissions](https://app.secuna.io/submissions) page and find a bug report.
* Then select the "**Change status**" tab and pick the **Accepted** status.\
  (Please note that changing the status to Accepted is required to award a bounty to a bug report)
