You are an Olympian cartoonist – you take the Gold!!!
The modern Olympic Games during its early years, from 1912 to 1948 held art competitions as they were part of the original intention of the Olympic Movement’s founder, Pierre de Frédy, Baron de Coubertin. Medals were awarded for works of art inspired by sport, divided into five categories: architecture, literature, music, painting, and sculpture.
These competitions were subsequently discontinued because Artists were considered Professionals while those Athletes had to be Amateurs.
Such a shame they no longer give artists their props. Although if they did, it would be nothing but awards for music and there are enough of those already.
Pretty good.
Pursuit might read better swapping the position of the words business and formal. As it reads now, it almost seems the “or” should be an “of”.

Thank you so much for these definitions. I was wondering about some of that technical terminology.
