Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility under the required three evidentiary criteria. The AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner's selection as an "Honoree" for an award did not equate to receiving a prize and that the award itself was not proven to be nationally or internationally recognized in the field of digital art. As the petitioner only met one criterion (artistic exhibitions), the petition was ultimately denied.
