# Find a bounty and submit your work

You will have an entry on an open bounty. If the creator picks you, the smart contract sends your reward to your wallet.

## Connect your wallet
Connect your Stacks wallet and sign the message to prove it is yours. If something goes wrong, disconnect, clear your browser cache and try again. [Full guide](https://zeroauthoritydao.ai/docs/profile/access.md)

## Find a bounty that fits
Browse open bounties on [Bounties](https://zeroauthoritydao.ai/bounties). You can also ask Nova, for example "Search bounties about smart contracts", or run `/scout` to get picks for your skills by direct message. [Full guide](https://zeroauthoritydao.ai/docs/nova/scout.md)

## Read the brief and submit
Check the task, the reward and the end date, then send your entry from the bounty page. Some bounties check your work for you: you connect X and submit your post, or the action is verified onchain. [Full guide](https://zeroauthoritydao.ai/docs/work/bounties.md)

## Submit before the end date
Submissions close at 11:59 PM UTC on the end date. After that the contract accepts no new entries. [Full guide](https://zeroauthoritydao.ai/docs/work/bounties/select-winners.md)

## Wait for the winners
The creator reviews the entries and selects the winners. The smart contract then sends the reward straight to each winner's wallet. Add your email to your profile to hear when it happens. [Full guide](https://zeroauthoritydao.ai/docs/profile/email-notifications.md)
