Polish artists were recognized there. Jan Szczepkowski received the Grand Prix for his Christmas chapel, Zygmunt Kaminski received an award for his designs for new Polish banknotes. Zofia Stryjeńska received as many as four Grand Prix (in the painting, poster, textile and illustration divisions), a special Diplom d'Honneur award for her toy designs and the Knight's Cross of the Legion of Honor.
