Winners will be feted at a pair of Gracie Awards galas, one set to take place in Los Angeles at the Four Seasons’ Beverly Wilshire on May 19, and another at New York’s Cipriani 42nd Street on June 16. The Gracie Awards are sponsored by CNN, Hallmark Media, iHeart/Premiere, Katz Media Group, Lauren’s Kids Foundation, NCTA: The Internet & Television Association and others. The gala is produced by female-owned production companies Do Great Projects and Mythical Creatures with Kristin Whalley back as executive producer.
“Women’s stories don’t just reflect the world, they shape it, shift it and refuse to let it stay the same,” AWMF president Becky Brooks said. “This year’s honorees are doing exactly that across every platform, every format, every audience. We are proud; we are moved, and we are honored to say their names out loud.”
The list of winners is below with more intel on the event found here.
