The awards were created in 1965 to "recognize outstanding artistic achievement in a television or radio program or series that entertains and enriches with a true vision of humanity and true vision of life."

A Gabriel-worthy award entry is dedicated to authenticity and excellence. It affirms and highlights values of dignity, community, tolerance, justice, or compassion. The primary goal of the Gabriel Awards is to encourage media professionals to serve, enrich, challenge, and uplift their audiences.

Enter the 59th Annual Gabriel Awards starting Nov. 1,  2024.  Awards will be presented at the Gabriel Awards Reception, June 26, 2025, in Phoenix, Arizona.
