The first Teen Choice Awards show was held at the Barker Hangar at Santa Monica Airport in Los Angeles. This is an awards show that captures audiences between Nickelodeon's Kid's Choice Awards and the MTV awards demographics. Teens are given the chance to vote for their favorite stars in a variety of categories that range from sports to entertainment. The 21st award show took place in Hermosa Beach on Aug. 11, 2019. Lucy Hale and David Dobrik hosted it. It was a milestone event because Taylor Swift received the first Icon Award while the Jonas Brothers received The Teen Decade award. Previous winners of this award have been Justin Timberlake and Maroon 5.
Nickelodeon's Kid's Choice gives pre-teens the opportunity to vote for their favorite stars. The rest of the award shows, including those held by MTV, are steered toward young adults. Bob Bain and Michael Burg, therefore, decided to develop a show that gave teens the opportunity to vote for their favorite stars, too. Once the nominations are released, there is a voting period. The results are announced during the program. The winner gets to take home a surfboard award. One Direction has been awarded the most surfboards, so far, with 28. Taylor Swift has won 26, Justin Bieber has won 23 and Miley Cyrus has been awarded 19.

The Teen Choice Awards is held in the Los Angeles area. For the first two years, it was held at the Barker Hangar at Santa Monica Airport. It moved to the Gibson Amphitheater in Universal City for the following 12 years. Since 2014, it has moved to different locations for a variety of reasons. It settled on a makeshift outdoor venue at Hermosa Beach for the 2019 show.
The Teen Choice Awards are geared toward teens, so you can expect the show to include nominees, presenters and performing acts that are hip with the teen generation of that time. The first show had no host, but it was opened by Britney Spears. The performers included Blink 182, Christina Aguilera and NSYNC as well as Britney Spears. The 2019 event was hosted by Lucy Hale and David Dobrik. The performers included OneRepublic, Blanco Brown and Mabel as well as Jordan McGraw and Sarah Hyland.

For 2019, the awards focused on celebrating the best in music, film and television as well as sports, fashion and comedy in addition to the best of the internet. Although the 2020 event has not been officially scheduled, it has been announced that it will be hosted by Victoria Justice and Lucy Hale.
