Both medals awarded in this event were earned by Austrian sculptors. Oskar Thiede sent in a collection of eight plaques, which together were awarded a silver medal. Thiede, who regularly designed prizes and awards, also made sculptures, many of which can still be seen in Vienna today. Edwin Grienauer had already won a gold medal in the medals and reliefs category back in 1928. He was also a former rower, winning the 1927 Austrian double sculls championship. One noted participant in this event was graphic artist Alex Walter Diggelmann, who won two medals in the applied arts event in London, and claimed an honorable mention in this event.
