# Step 2. Apply to an Event

{% hint style="success" %}
This guide walks you through submitting your application to a campaign.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
If you’re applying via a **public form link** (no login), you’re in the **Form Events** flow. Follow [Form Events](/creator-guide/form-events.md) instead.
{% endhint %}

### Before you start

* You found an event you want to join. See [Step 1. Discover Events](/creator-guide/step-1.-discover-events.md).
* The event is accepting applications (usually **Ongoing**).
* You meet the eligibility requirements shown on the event detail page.

### What you will do

1. Open the event detail page.
2. Fill in the application form.
3. Submit your application.
4. Confirm status in **Applications**.

### Steps

#### 1) Click Apply Now

Open the event detail page.

Click **Apply Now**.

{% hint style="info" %}
If the button isn’t available, it usually means one of these:

* You already applied.
* Applications are not open yet.
* Applications are closed.
* Your profile is missing required info.
  {% endhint %}

#### 2) Fill in the application form

Typical fields:

* **Why do you want to join?** (required)
* **Content idea** (required)
* **Social media links** (optional)

#### 3) Click Submit Application

Review carefully, then click **Submit Application**.

{% hint style="warning" %}
You can’t edit an application after submission.

Double-check before you submit.
{% endhint %}

#### 4) Check your application status

Go to **Applications**.

Statuses:

* **Under Review**: the brand is reviewing.
* **Selected**: you were chosen. Next: [Step 3. After Selection](/creator-guide/step-3.-after-selection.md).
* **Not Selected**: you were not chosen.

### Expected result

Your application shows **Under Review** in **Applications**.

### Troubleshooting

* **Apply Now is disabled**: check eligibility and complete your profile. See [\[Creator\] Managing Your Profile](/reference/creator-managing-your-profile.md).
* **Form won’t submit**: confirm required fields are filled.
* **Application not visible**: refresh the Applications list.
