To that end, each year film studios and television networks submit (and the Women's Image Awards jury adjudicates) film and television, applauding the writers, directors, producers and actors whose work promotes the value of women.
While the Women's Image Awards are presented on a completion basis to film and television (and sometimes advertising and video game) professionals, WIN also honors deserving individuals who share its mission.
WIN presents its awards in Hollywood and relies on entertainment industry collaborations to draw audiences to excellent media.
The awards are a production of WIN, a 501c3 non-profit charity which has also supported other charities including The Mary Magdalene Foundation, Women’s Care Cottage, The Mission, Gilda’s Club, The American Cancer Society. WIN supports charities whose efforts range from fighting homeless, rehabilitating prostitutes, curing HIV/AIDS and cancer, eliminating poverty, biodiversity conservation and wild animal rescue. In some years, proceeds from the WIN Awards Gala have been used to fund other WIN events, such as in 2006 when the charity created the Day in the Life program designed to mentor at-risk girls.

History
Women's Image Network only presents its awards to work that enters the competition (via studio or network publicists) so not all deserving film and television work is adjudicated by the WIN jury.
The awards have been presented (non-consecutively) since 1993, and are currently awarded in multiple categories.[15] They present awards to movies, television, video games and advertising.[16] In some cases, the awards are given to supporters of women rather than entertainment industry participants, as in 2006 when US Senator Barbara Boxer received a Woman of the Year award.[7] Stuart has stated Women's Image Network only gives awards to work that enters (via studio or network publicists) and not all deserving film and television work is adjudicated by the WIN jury.
