Answer:

They were some of the competitions awarded medals at the 1948 Olympics.

The Olympics featured “art competitions” from 1912 to 1948. They were eventually abandoned because of the objection that everyone competing in them was a professional rather than an amateur. But now that professionals are allowed to compete, maybe we’ll see their return!

I understand that the ancient Olympics included art competitions, and that also those contestants who won received handsome monetary rewards, often provided by their own home towns. At least that was I was told when I toured the ruins ancient Olympia in 1970, when I was in college.
