Looking ahead to the Kids’ Choice Awards

The Nickelodeon “Kids’ Choice Awards” (@NickelodeonTV) are on tomorrow night, and you have a chance to influence the outcome, in less than 140 characters. Be sure to tune in on Saturday, March 29 at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT and 6:30 p.m. Central.

Use Twitter to cast your vote for your favorite nominees across several categories by tweeting #KCA along with the nominee’s hashtag. For instance, here’s what you might tweet to vote for the Favorite Music Group category:

• Maroon 5: #VoteMaroon5 #KCA
• One Direction: #Vote1D #KCA
• One Republic: #VoteOneRepublic #KCA
• Macklemore & Ryan Lewis: #VoteMacklemore #KCA

Here’s the list of categories and hashtags.

Besides voting, you have a chance to be a part of the telecast by earning the “#1 Fan Army” title. Here’s how it works: Fans of #KCA nominees including @OneDirection, @ArianaGrande, @SelenaGomez and @JTimberlake can compete in a series of challenges leading up to the show. Challenges include making a Vine video “karaoke” clip of a previously listed nominee’s song, and wishing your favorite nominee good luck on their big day. Winners’ videos will be aired live during the Orange Carpet pre-show. Here’s the full list of challenges.

To get even closer to the action, follow @NickelodeonTV, which will be tweeting 6-second videos from the Vine 360 Booth on the Orange Carpet, and behind-the-scenes candid shots from the Twitter Mirror backstage.
