CULTURAL AWARDS

Medals were awarded in 5 categories of cultural competition (Architecture, Literature, Music, Painting & Graphic Art and Sculpture) held in conjunction with the Games between 1912 & 1948 as well as for Aeronautics in 1936 (in association with the Gliding demonstration) and Alpinism (Mountaineering) in 1924 & 1932-36. Competitors were judged on a prior work/achievement, as opposed to a work created/achieved during the course of the Games. The competitions were discontinued after 1948 due to difficulties in establishing the amateur status of competitors. Winners of these events are listed on the Olympic Games Museum website whilst complete medallists (in German) are listed on sport-komplett.de.
