2026 Gracie Awards Locked In
• The Alliance for Women in Media Foundation (AWMF) proudly announces the dates for the 51st Annual Gracie Awards, continuing a legacy of more than five decades recognizing 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: 1) Gracies Gala, May 19, 2026, at the iconic Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, and 2) Gracies Luncheon, June 16, 2026, at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City.
“Following a landmark 50th anniversary season, we remain inspired by the power of women’s voices in shaping our media landscape,” said Becky Brooks, President of AWMF. “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 awards are celebrated with an evening event, the Gracies Gala, on the West Coast where national awards are recognized, and the Gracies Luncheon on the East Coast with local and student awards.
The Call for Entries for the 2026 Gracie Awards will open in October 2025. Stay tuned for more details.
