Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence for the 'prizes or awards' criterion was found insufficient, as a certificate of appreciation was not a nationally recognized award and nominations do not constitute receipt of an award. The evidence for 'published material' was also insufficient, as a brief mention in a conference newspaper did not qualify as significant media coverage about the petitioner.
