Produced by	Women's Image Network; Phyllis Stuart
Directed by	Phyllis Stuart

WIN was founded in 1993 by filmmaker Phyllis Stuart to promote gender parity because, to the extent that women's voices remain silent, everyone is robbed of their contribution. Its founder, film producer, and director, Phyllis Stuart Bert Stern: Original Mad Man: Film Review, known for her films Wild Daze and Bert Stern: The Original Madman made WIN successful through the ongoing support, advice, and assistance of many seasoned entertainment professionals including Sherry Lansing and Arthur Hiller, two of WIN's founding advisory board members.

Selecting only media submitted from film studios and television networks, their jury adjudicates and nominates work that either tells a dimensional female character's story or is produced, written or directed by a woman. In this way, these awards celebrate both male and female artists whose film and television work also increases the value of women and girls.

In addition to awarding nominated film and television work, WIN honors deserving individuals, including Lauren Bacall, Elizabeth Taylor Senator Barbara Boxer, Lily Tomlin, Cecilia DeMille Presley, Abigail Disney, Mira Sorvino Ambassador Swanee Hunt, Suzanne Roberts, Maria Arena Bell, Diane Ladd, Jane Campion, Anne Archer, Jojo Siwa Carrie Fisher, among several others.

In 1993, WIN held its first awards ceremony, honoring Tichi Wilkerson Kassel with a Lifetime Achievement Award. Tichi was the first female publisher of The Hollywood Reporter and co-founder of Women In Film. Her friend Charles Champlin (a former Los Angeles Times arts editor and film critic) presented her award. Film producer Laura Ziskin (Spider-Man) (who also founded Stand Up to Cancer before she succumbed to the disease at age 61) was honored that same year, and her former boss, producer Jon Peters, presented her Woman of The Year tribute.

In 1994, for WIN, producer Phyllis Stuart created and executive-produced the ABC Primetime Special "Fifty Years of Funny Females" starring John Ritter, Annie Potts, Paula Poundstone, Debbie Allen and Pam Stone. This clip show aired twice on ABC and again on Lifetime Television.

For four years, the WIN Awards coincided with the WIN Femme Film Festival created to support emerging and/or first-time filmmakers. WinFemme Film Festival Wants Women's Stories

The WIN Femme Film Festival programmed independently produced short films, documentary feature films, and full-length feature films that told a woman's story, had a female protagonist, and were created either by male or female artists. Best documentary went to Paolo di Florio for her film, Speaking In Strings. WIN created this festival to help filmmakers find distribution, get agents and win other awards; Speaking In Strings went on to win an Academy Award nomination. Director John Putch (son of Jean Stapleton) won best feature with Valerie Flake starring Susan Traylor (wife of Bob Dylan's son director, Jesse Dylan) who also garnered a Spirit Award for best actress.

Actress Lauren Bacall accepted WIN's first Living Legend tribute. That night, New Zealand film director Jane Campion was also honored, and her Piano film star Sam Neill accepted her tribute on her behalf.

Both Lynn Redgrave (Living Legend) and Pierce Brosnan (Humanitarian) were honorees. A few presenters were LisaGay Hamilton, Gavin Scott, and Allana Ubach.
