The Gail Awards are a celebration of creativity in advertising, content and design.

So what makes it different?

100% of the proceeds from entries to The Gail Awards are donated directly to The Fund for Women’s Equality.

As of 2023, it is the only show that donates its proceeds.

A note from the Founder

The idea for The Gail Awards came from the opportunity to celebrate creativity while donating the entry fees directly to a good cause.

I named it in memory of my mom, Gail, who was an artist and teacher who cared deeply about the mission it supports. She would have loved the spirit and intent behind the awards. 

The goal is to bring together folks from all experience levels and backgrounds to have honest conversations about compelling work, while supporting equal rights.

I'd like to extend my appreciation to everyone who reached out with questions, support, advice, and encouragement. As I continue to build this plane as I fly it, I'm here to listen, adjust and speak to anyone who is interested in making the The Gail Awards the best it can be.
