Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained acclaim. A purported 1997 presidential award was deemed too old to show sustained acclaim, and the evidence for it—a generic 'Dear Author' letter—was insufficient to prove it was a nationally recognized prize with a competitive selection process. The petitioner did not meet the burden of proof for the criteria claimed.
