The Teen Choice Awards is an awards show presented annually by FOX (United States) and Global TV (Canada). The program honors the year's biggest achievements in music, movies, sports, and television, as voted on by teens aged 12-19. The program usually features a high number of celebrities and musical performers. The winners are awarded with lifesize surfboards, fit to the summertime theme.

Starting in 1999, the Teen Choice Awards were presented weeks prior to the televised event up through 2005. Since 2006, the program has been televised live.

The program was presented live on Sunday, August 26, 2007.

Bob Bain and Michael Burg came together to produce an award show for a young demographic, somewhat older to 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. For example, in 2007, Verizon's VCast was a big digital advancement, that the "Choice VCast Video" category was added to the repertoire.

The show has usually started with a parody production number reflecting some significant teen phenomenon of the year. 2007 was High School Musical 50th Reunion.

Ballots are usually found in teen oriented magazines, where readers were to purchase and tear out their ballot. Votes may also be cast online through FOX.com, the official website for the Teen Choice Awards.

Since the ceremony's inception, the show has given out lifesize surfboards to individual winners. They create a new original design every year.

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,[2] 2005,[3] and 2006[4] 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."[2] Bozell also attacked Nelly Furtado's and Timbaland's performance of their hit song "Promiscuous" in the 2006 awards ceremony for promoting a mixed 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[5] and 2006[6] 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.

Another criticism is the use of laugh tracks (sweetening) for the jokes offered by hosts and other stars since the live broadcast has a slight delay. The credits do show that sound mixers do the sweetening for television only.
