# What Does "Confirmed Category: No" Mean on a Paid Application? A paid application showing **Confirmed Category: No** means your payment was received successfully, but the event organizer has not yet confirmed your specific category placement. ## What Each Field Tells You - **Paid** — JAS has recorded your application fee payment. Your application is financially complete. - **Confirmed Category: No** — The event organizer has not yet assigned or confirmed which category you will be juried or exhibited in. This step is controlled by the organizer, not JAS. ## What to Do 1. **No action is required on your end.** Your application is submitted and paid. The "No" status is not a problem or an error — it simply reflects where things stand in the organizer's process. 2. **Monitor your application status** by visiting your dashboard and checking the application detail. Category confirmation typically updates there when the organizer acts. See [Track Your Application Status](/help/article/track-application-status) for a full walkthrough. 3. **Contact the event organizer directly** if you need a timeline for when categories will be confirmed. JAS does not control this step, and the organizer is the right person to ask. ## Still Have Questions About Your Application? - [Understanding Application Submissions](/help/article/understanding-application-submissions) - [Submit Your Application](/help/article/submit-your-application)
