Four decades of recognizing achievements by women across all media
“Women have and continue to struggle to climb from the bottom of the ladder, but it is with the utmost determination that we reach for that next rung no matter how difficult the challenge.”
– Ms. Cicely Tyson, accepting a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Gracie Awards.
The Gracie Awards were established in 1975 with awards given at the Gracies Gala, on the West Coast with national awards and the Gracies Luncheon on the East Coast with local and student awards recognized. These star-studded events include the visionary women who have spearheaded media progress and those who are the setting the path for the future.
Plan now to celebrate the 50th Annual Gracie Awards Gala on May 20th at the Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel, in Beverly Hills and the 50th Annual Gracie Awards Luncheon on June 18th at Cipriani 42nd in New York.
The 2025 Gracie Awards Call for Entries is now open. We encourage Gracie Award submissions from all walks of media life, from creatives, including writers, broadcast journalists and actors, to technical categories, including producers, directors and showrunners. For questions about entering or the Gracies in general, please email gracies@allwomeninmedia.org.

“I love being in a room with such brilliant minds and brilliant creativity. There’s a lot of interesting things that happen in this room. Just the conversations that are happening at the tables. It’s a really cool place to be. If you ever get a change to come, you should attend the Gracies.”
Bethany Joy Lenz
Presenter, 47th Annual Gracie Awards Gala
“If she were alive today [Gracie Allen], I think she’d be extremely proud of the women in this room; to know that we, too, stand in our own truths, do the work we love and, hopefully, will leave the industry, and the world, a little better off than when we found it.”
– Kristen Johnston, reminding 2015 Gracie Gala attendees why Gracie Allen was truly an inspiration.
