The 37th Annual Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards ceremony was held on July 13, 2024, at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California with SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star serving as hosts. It aired live on Nickelodeon and in a domestic simulcast with several other Paramount Global cable networks, and was broadcast live or tape delayed across all of Nickelodeon's international networks. This was the first show to take place in July instead of March, April, or May since the 1992 Kids' Choice Awards.
The ceremony was dedicated to the 25th anniversary of SpongeBob SquarePants, and was presented, "in an animated setting through enhanced graphics and advanced augmented reality." Kira Kosarin, Jack Griffo, and Young Dylan served as correspondents alongside SpongeBob and Patrick throughout the show.
The Nickelodeon network premiere of Hotel Transylvania: Transformania led into the ceremony, while a new episode of Rock Paper Scissors served as the lead-out.
