History

As the executive producers, Bob Bain and Michael Burg came together to create an award show geared toward a teen demographic, somewhat older than that of the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, but similar to that of MTV. Greg Sills has been the supervising producer and Paul Flattery has been the producer for all of the shows since its inception in 1999.

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. The show was held at the Barker Hangar at Santa Monica Airport for its first two shows in 1999 and 2000. However, since 2001, it has been held at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, CA. Some years it airs live, but usually it airs on a one day delay.

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, the number of votes cast was in excess of 83 million. That same year "teenchoicegirl" appeared on Twitter. She is actually a teenage girl working on the show as an intern and keeps fans informed of news and gossip. In just a few weeks she had over 28,000 followers.

Since the ceremony's inception, the show has given out genuine custom-made surfboards to individual winners (they cost over $800 each to manufacture). They create a new original design every year. The surfboard was chosen as the award because it represents the freedom of the summer vacation for teens, whether they surf or not. Some celebrities have used them to surf (Jennifer Love Hewitt); Marlon Wayans famously said "Brothers don't surf" and in 2009, Hugh Jackman, upon winning his first one, said he was no longer the only Australian without a surfboard.

Do Something

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 was replaced with "Choice Celebrity Activist" which was won by Hayden Panettiere.

Controversy

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,[9] 2005,[10] and 2006[11] awards ceremonies for awarding R rated films and other entertainers allegedly not appropriate for teenagers, claiming it showed "how successfully Hollywood has marketed adult fare to the young."[9] Bozell also attacked Nelly Furtado's and Timbaland's performance of their hit song "Promiscuous" in the 2006 awards ceremony for "promoting a message to teens about sex by performing their song," which contains lyrics about sex, and then telling the audience to perform safe sex with condoms. The PTC also named the 2005[12] and 2006[13] awards ceremonies the "Worst Family TV Show of the Week" after their initial broadcasts on Fox. The 2009 [2] awards ceremony was surrounded by controversy with Miley Cyrus pole dancing on an ice-cream truck prop used in her performance of "Party in the USA".

In August 2011, critically acclaimed young adult author, Jennifer Donnelly, publicly criticized the Teen Choice Awards for not having a category for books. In a letter to Fox, Donnelly wrote of the importance of the promotion of literature for young people: "With the Teen Choice Awards, Fox has a powerful opportunity to do good by its young viewers by impressing upon them the importance of reading. Make books an awards category and you will generate for literature the same kind of excitement the Teen Choice Awards currently generates for music, film, and television. Harry, Ron, and Hermione....Bella, Edward and Jacob...these are all characters beloved by the Teen Choice voters. And you know what? They all came from books."[14]

Fox has not responded to Donnelly's letter.
