Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that he meets at least three of the ten evidentiary criteria required for the classification. The Director had already credited the petitioner with meeting two criteria (judging and artistic showcases), but the AAO found the evidence submitted for other criteria, specifically 'published materials,' was insufficient to prove the publications were from professional, major trade, or other major media outlets.
