# Creating a Proposal

Creating Proposals is done by submitting transactions on-chain that are formed by selecting and filling out a [Template](/clarity-v1/participating-in-a-dao/creating-a-proposal/proposal-templates.md) a DAO uses.

**Step 1: Navigate to a DAO's 'Proposals' tab, and click the '+ Create a Proposal' button**

**Step 2: Name and draft your proposal, and select the** [**Template**](/clarity-v1/participating-in-a-dao/creating-a-proposal/proposal-templates.md) **to use**

**Title:** The name of the Proposal

**Template:** Select from the list of Templates this DAO has to choose from

**Description:** Write the Proposal here. This will be shown to anyone viewing and voting on the Proposal.

When you're done, click **'Next'.**

**Step 3: Fill out template-specific information**

This tab will be different depending on the Template chosen in the previous step. The fields on this tab control variables in smart contract effects that will run if this Proposal is passed.

**Step 4: Sign the transaction**
