title: How to get your content listed on the LBRY application Community Top Bids?
category: LBRY 101
order: 6

### What are Community Top Bids?

Community Top Bids are a public space on the LBRY application, where anyone can share content with the rest of the LBRY community based on the bidding process. Users can place bids in LBRY credits (LBC) on the names ranging from "one" to "ten" and put their content on the front page of the LBRY application. The names correspondent with the position of the content, placing it on positions 1 to 10 in the content bar.
This mechanism enables users to promote their content and it is based on the LBRY naming system. The LBC are not lost, but just used as a deposit for the name claim.

For more details on how naming works, please see: https://lbry.io/faq/naming
For more details on claims, please see https://lbry.io/faq/claimtrie-implementation

### How to bid on the Community Top Bids positions?

1. Click the "PUBLISH" button.
2. In the options menu go to "Content URL" and enter the desired claim you want to bid on (lbry://one, lbry://two, lbry://three, ... , lbry://ten)
3. After you have entered the desired number, the system will automatically show you the minimum amount of LBC you need to deposit to get the claim. This LBC remains yours and the deposit can be undone at any time.
4. Finish the rest of the publishing process.
