Multi-platinum recording artist and global superstar Katy Perry will join host Will Smith and a powerhouse roster of other celebrity presenters at Nickelodeon’s 2012 Kids’ Choice Awards in Los Angeles on Saturday 31 March.
The show premieres on Nickelodeon (DStv Channel 305) on 3 April at 6pm CAT.
The celebrity presenters will include Chris Rock (What to Expect When You’re Expecting), Emma Stone (The Amazing Spider-Man), Andrew Garfield (The Amazing Spider-Man), Zac Efron (The Lucky One), Heidi Klum (Project Runway), Victoria Justice (Victorious), Miranda Cosgrove (iCarly), Big Time Rush, Chris Colfer (Glee) and Cee Lo Green (The Voice) as well as recently announced performers, UK pop sensation One Direction.
Kids can cast their votes until 31 March in 20 total categories at www.2012kca.com and via a Facebook application on the Nickelodeon Facebook page. Users will be able to vote from a tab on the page and, for the first time ever, the entire voting experience can be embedded directly into Facebook wall posts. Also new this year, fans will be able to vote for their favourite nominees on Twitter through the use of custom hash tags.
This year, kids not only pick the winners, but they get to help host Will Smith pull off the greatest slime event in KCA history. Through a brand-new iPad, iPhone and iPod app, and the KCA website, kids need to find slime hidden throughout the photo galleries, news, and videos. If kids collect enough slime, Will Smith will pull off the biggest slime event ever in this year’s show. Aided by weekly missions, kids will have the chance to earn digital rewards and move up the slime operative ranks.
