LOS ANGELES — The Alliance for Women in Media Foundation (AWMF) has unveiled the dates for the 51st Annual Gracie Awards, which recognize the contributions and achievements of women in media.
The 2026 Gracie Awards will once again unite trailblazers, emerging talent, and storytellers
shaping the future of media at two signature events.
A “Gracies Gala” is on the calendar for May 19 at the Beverly Wilshire, in Beverly Hills, Calif.
Then, a “Gracies Luncheon” will be staged on June 16 at venerable gala venue Cipriani 42nd Street in Midtown Manhattan.
“Following a landmark 50 th anniversary season, we remain inspired by the power of women’s voices in shaping our media landscape,” said AWMF President Becky Brooks. “The 51st Gracie Awards will honor the enduring influence of those who paved the way and spotlight the voices who continue to challenge, innovate, and lead. As we look to the future, we are committed to elevating the diverse and brilliant stories women bring to audiences every day.”
The Gracie Awards were established in 1975 to recognize individual achievement and
exemplary programming created by, for, and about women.
The Gracies Gala is where national awards are recognized, as the Gracies Luncheon fetes those earning local and student awards.
The Call for Entries for the 2026 Gracie Awards will open in October 2025.
