What is the theme of Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards 2024?

To mark the occasion, Nickelodeon senior vice president Ashley Kaplan informed The Hollywood Reporter that the stage decoration is styled after Bikini Bottom, based on SpongeBob’s underwater home. It is adorned with giant palm trees and oversized slushie cups, conceptualized by production designer Julio Himede.

Among the many firsts, the Kids' Choice Awards are introducing rainbow-colored slime, which will elevate the program's iconic slime aspect to a whole new level. Although Nickelodeon previously featured gold slime during the 2016 Kids’ Choice Sports Awards, the rainbow slime that will emerge from a massive birthday cake in honor of SpongeBob will be a first for the network this year.

Earlier in May, Nickelodeon announced that the awards show would take place in an animated setting enhanced by advanced graphics and augmented reality.“We will also rely really heavily on the use of AR [augmented reality], which will allow us to have our animated characters, SpongeBob and Patrick, there to interact with our winners, our presenters, and the audience in the room,”said Ashley Kaplan, executive VP of Nickelodeon & Awesomeness Unscripted & Digital Franchise Studio.
