Since 1993
Women's Image Network (WIN) has been producing The Women's Image Awards because promoting dimensional female media images advances the value of women.
​
Women can reach their full potential when film and television depict dimensional, non-stereotypical female media images.
​
WIN celebrates media artists who depict women as complex, ever-evolving human beings. We envision a future in which women everywhere enjoy social and economic parity.

WIN Founder: Phyllis Stuart
Stuart grew up in a small Midwestern town with one glorious 1928 movie theater which every Saturday opened its doors to raucous children to watch Technicolor Sinbad films. She’s been hooked on story-telling ever since.
Defined by her tenacity, taste and talent, since earning a BFA from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, Stuart has followed a winding creative path developing her personal potential while also serving the community.
Launching as an actress, sold her first pitch as a creative producer to ABC and began expressing herself beyond the scope of performance. Stuart has created short films, feature documentary films (Wild Daze, Bert Stern Original Madman), plays (A Raging Volcano Goddess), television (50 Years of Funny Females)., and live events (The Women's Image Awards for 26 years). Stuart once even produced a live music concert and lived to tell about it.
​
Having spent many years working in the non-narrative genre, Stuart is currently developing a narrative series entitled Lily's Long Game. See some sizzles at www.phyllisstuart.com.
Since its inception, Women’s Image Network has benefited from the guidance provided by seasoned industry professionals.
