The Teen Choice Awards is an awards show presented annually by FOX. The program honors the year's biggest achievements in music, movies, sports, television, fashion and more, as voted on by teens aged 13–19. The program usually features a high number of celebrities and musical performers. The winners are awarded with authentic full size surfboards -- literally the biggest award in entertainment -- designed with a fresh summertime theme every year. The ceremony has also created spin-off teen awards on YouTube.[1]
Teen Choice was started in 1999.[2] The 2009 awards will be held on Sunday, August 9 in Los Angeles, CA and will air on Monday, August 10.

[edit] History
Bob Bain and Michael Burg came together to produce an award show for a young demographic, somewhat older than that of the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards but similar to that of MTV. The format of the show has remained the same, awarding the achievements of those in the entertainment and athletic industries with non-traditional categories fixed into the ceremony. It is held at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, CA every year and has been since 2001. For its first two years - 1990 and 1991 - it was held at the Barker Hanger at Santa Monica Airport, CA.
Ballots were once used in teen-oriented magazines, where readers were to purchase and tear out their ballot. Votes could also be cast online through FOX.com. In 2008, Fox and the show's producers created Teenchoiceawards.com as the official website for the Teen Choice Awards. That year, over 32 million votes were cast.[citation needed]. In 2009, "teenchoicegirl" appeared on twitter. This actually is a teenage girl working on the show as an intern and one of her jobs is to keep fans informed of news and gossip.
Since the ceremony's inception, the show has given out genuine custom-made surfboards to individual winners. They create a new original design every year.
Justin Timberlake has won the most awards ever - 21 (12 of which were as a member of NSYNC). Ashton Kutcher has won the most individual awards - 14. Britney Spears has won the most individual awards for a female - 7

In 2008, Dosomething.org sponsored The Do Something Award -- which recognized amazing young people. Nine nominees —who saw a problem in the world and then tackled it—each won $10,000 for their cause. One lucky winner received the $100,000 grand prize. The Do Something Award (formerly the BR!CK Awards) is a program of Do Something, a New York-based non-profit that reaches about 11.5 million young people annually. The award is not being presented in 2009. It has been replaced with "Choice Celebrity Activist."

[edit] Controversy
The conservative media watchdog group Parents Television Council has been a prominent critic of the Teen Choice Awards, claiming that they glorify celebrities who promote immoral messages to teenagers. PTC founder L. Brent Bozell criticized the 2000,[11] 2005,[12] and 2006[13] awards ceremonies for awarding rated-R films and other entertainers allegedly not appropriate for teenagers, claiming it showed "how successfully Hollywood has marketed adult fare to the young."[11] Bozell also attacked Nelly Furtado's and Timbaland's performance of their hit song "Promiscuous" in the 2006 awards ceremony for promoting a positive message to teens about sex by performing their song, which allegedly contained lyrics encouraging sex, and then telling the audience to perform safe sex with condoms and such and telling the audience not actually to be promiscuous in real life. The PTC also named the 2005[14] and 2006[15] awards ceremonies the "Worst Family TV Show of the Week" after their initial broadcasts on Fox.
However, L. Brent Bozell did somewhat praise the 2004 awards ceremony for containing little objectionable content due to the "wardrobe malfunction" of Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson at the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show.
The awards have also been criticized for their use of laugh tracks (sweetening) for the jokes offered by hosts and other stars since the live broadcast has a slight delay. The credits show that sound mixers do the sweetening for television only.
