# 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) ![](https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/270773448/e431a4d4dd990ca32b6570de/image.png) * Press the **Change status** button to display the message and to show the **Set award** tab. ![](https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/270768962/8419fb4a143854648ef2c717/image.png) * Next step is to select the "**Set award**" tab above the comment box and choose an action on the left side. ![](https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/270770928/f353401b3df85de27c609406/image.png) * Press the **Set award** button to award the bounty to researcher. ![](https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/270775462/1acf5647a4cfe95f828e104f/image.png) For technical questions, kindly reach out to or Secuna Technical Program Manager. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
