Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence submitted consisted of awards won in 'junior' level competitions, which the AAO determined were insufficient as they are restricted by age or experience and do not represent excellence in the field as a whole.
