The Alliance for Women in Media Foundation (AWMF) has extended the submission deadline for the 51st Gracie Awards, giving entrants additional time to submit their work. The extended deadline is January 29, while the regular deadline -- without an additional fee -- remains January 22 at 11:59pm ET.

Presented by AWMF, the Gracie Awards have recognized programming and individual excellence by women across television, streaming, radio, audio, and digital media for more than five decades. Submissions are open across all platforms, with a full list of categories, including new additions for 2026, available on the Gracies website.

"As we build on the momentum of last year's 50th anniversary celebration, extending the submission deadline allows more time to ensure that outstanding work from across the industry is recognized and considered," said Becky Brooks, President of AWMF.

Each entry supports the AWM Foundation, with the Gracie Awards serving as the organization's largest annual fundraiser. National winners will be honored at the Gracies Gala on May 19 at the Beverly Wilshire, while local and student winners will be recognized at the Gracies Luncheon on June 16 at Cipriani 42nd.

Eligibility for the 2026 Gracie Awards covers programming aired between January 1 and December 31, 2025. Entry details and submission information are available here.
