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 (as of June 11, 2008). The program usually features a high number of celebrities and musical performers. The winners are awarded with authentic lifesize surfboards, fit to the summertime theme. The ceremony has also created spin-off teen awards on YouTube.

Teen Choice was started in 1999. The 2009 awards will be held on Sunday, August 9 in Los Angeles, CA and will air on Monday, August 10.

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 has been held at the Gibson Amphitheater in Universal City, CA every year since its inception in 1999.
