You prove distinction in the arts for an O-1B by showing that you are leading or prominent within a specific niche of your field.This can be demonstrated by holding a clearly defined leading role, such as being the Lead Concept Artist for a mobile gaming studio with a large user base, where your work directly influences the final product.Distinction can also be shown through participation in highly selective programs. For example, being chosen as one of a very small number of artists or designers for a competitive residency program helps establish that you stand out above the ordinary level of practitioners in your field.
