The Olympic Charter adopted by the International Olympic Committe (IOC) and Pierre Coubertin, its first president and mentor of the modern day rivaval of the Olympic tradition, explicitly calls for the organisation of Art Competitions at the Games, in five categories. The 1924 Olympics in Paris saw the highpoint of all the art competitions, with Béla Bartók, Igor Stravinsky among the judges for musical entries. In the art competitions of 1924, there were 193 participators from 24 countries, among them Alfréd Hajós and Dezső (Desider) Lauber from Hungary.
