Kids' Choice Awards

The Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, also known as the Kids' Choice Awards or KCAs for short, are an annual awards show that have been broadcast on Nickelodeon since 1988 (with the exception of 1993). The award show usually airs on a Saturday night in the spring (usually in late March or early April) to honor the past year's biggest television, film, and music acts, as voted by Nickelodeon viewers. The winners receive a hollow orange blimp with the Nickelodeon logo on it. During the awards' show, celebrities and the audience are splashed with slime. The show is often followed up by the premiere of a new Nickelodeon original series, and/or preceded by a new episode of an already-airing Nickelodeon show.
The latest Kids' Choice Awards is the 36th edition, hosted by Nate Burleson and Charli D'Amelio. It was held live at the Microsoft Theater.

==Trivia==
*A long version of the Nickelodeon Productions "Nick Lightbulb" logo with a hand reaching up and pulling on a string, revealing the logo, is said to have aired after the first run of Kids' Choice Awards 1996. This rumor has been proven false, however.
*For unknown reasons, the KCAs once aired on YTV, owned by Corus Entertainment and not Paramount. This might have been due to either YTV being a partner of Nickelodeon at the time, or Corus Entertainment actually owning Nickelodeon Canada at the time due to YTV and Corus Entertainment being Canadian.
*Most Nickelodeon networks in other countries have/had produced their own localized version of the Kids Choice Awards, such as Kids Choice Awards Mexico (Nickelodeon Latin America), Kids Choice Awards UK (Nickelodeon UK & Ireland), and Meus Premios Nick (Nickelodeon Brazil).
*The award ceremonies in 1989 1992 and 2024 are the only events not to take place in March nor April.
