AWRT Announces 2010 National Gracie Winners
American Women in Radio & Television (AWRT) announced the 2010 national winners of the group’s 35th Annual Gracie Awards. National award winners will be presented at a black-tie gala at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, Los Angeles, on Tuesday, May 25. Local market, public and student award winners will be announced later this week.
The Gracie Awards, established in 1975, honor programming and individuals of the highest caliber in all facets of radio, television, cable and Web-based media, including news, drama, comedy, commercials, public service, documentary and sports.
The Gracies are presented by the Foundation of AWRT, the philanthropic arm of AWRT, which supports educational programs, charitable activities, public service campaigns and scholarships to benefit the public and women in the media.
“The power of this year’s Gracie Award winners showcase how vital a role women in the industry continue to have,” said 2010 Chair of AWRT, Sylvia Strobel. “We look forward to honoring these deserving programs and individuals. We’re also delighted to have Dove and the Campaign for Real Beauty return as the Gracies’ 2010 title sponsor.”
