Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide sufficient primary evidence to prove she actually received the claimed 'Gaviota de Plata' award. The AAO found that submitted photographs were insufficient, and no contemporaneous media coverage or documentation from the festival organizers was provided. Additionally, the evidence was deemed insufficient to establish that the award qualifies as a major, internationally recognized award as required for this classification.
