Art competitions at the 1912 Summer Olympics


Art competitions were held as part of the 1912 [Summer Olympics] in Stockholm, Sweden. It was the first time that art competitions were part of the Olympic program. Medals were awarded in five categories, for works inspired by sport-related themes.
Art competitions were part of the Olympic program from 1912 to 1948, but were discontinued due to concerns about amateurism and professionalism. Since 1952, a non-competitive art and cultural festival has been associated with each Games.

Medal table

In 1952, art competition medals were removed from the official national medal counts. However, at least since June 2021, the art competitions medals are again taken into account by the International Olympic Committee in the medal tables for the relevant Olympics.
