Art Contests Medal Winners
| Art competitions took place at the Olympics between 1912-1948. This was divided into five categories: architecture, literature, music, painting, and sculpture, all of which had to be inspired by sports. This was discontinued because it was difficult to determine the amateur status of the competitors.
