Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO determined the petitioner met three regulatory criteria, contrary to the director's initial denial.

Additionally, the AAO found that an article in Advertising Age met the published materials criterion and that judging the Cuspide Awards met the judging criterion.
