Overview

The TeenNick HALO Awards is a TV special that airs on TeenNick every December of every year. It profiles four ordinary teens who are Helping And Leading Others. Created by chairman Nick Cannon, the show is similar to other awards shows, such as CNN's Heroes award. The HALO Awards "...flips the script and features today’s biggest celebrities giving out the awards instead of receiving them,” said Marjorie Cohn, Executive Vice President, Original Programming and Development of Nickelodeon. It profiles four teens who are usually seniors in high school or has just started college, that sacrificed themselves to better the lives of others.
