Press Releases Radio 1 to honour inspirational teens with major awards ceremony

[awinfield999]

"Inspirational teenagers will be celebrated in a major two-week initiative on BBC Radio 1 this winter with a series of The Surgery specials, culminating in the station's first-ever Teen Awards. In November, The Surgery's Aled Haydn Jones will front a series of specials looking at the lives of a number of teenagers from across the United Kingdom who inspire others.
Following the fortnight of special programmes, Radio 1 will hold the inaugural BBC Radio 1 Teen Awards, at Hammersmith Apollo in London, with awards for Teen Heroes* to recognise outstanding contributions by young people in the UK (as nominated by the station's audience) being presented alongside the awards for the top stars from the music and entertainment world in 2010.
The star-studded event is set to feature performances from some of the biggest music stars in the teen world.
A massive multiplatform event for the BBC, the awards ceremony is to be broadcast on both Radio 1 and on BBC Three, plus extensive online content will complement the coverage.
Ben Cooper, Deputy Controller, Radio 1, says: "There's often a negative perception about teenagers, so these awards will celebrate some of the amazing and positive achievements of young people in the UK."
