Katie Ledecky, Simone Manuel Nominated for Kids’ Choice Awards
 
American swimmers Katie Ledecky and Simone Manuel have been nominated for 2017 Kids’ Choice Sports Awards.
The annual awards show is a sports-specific spinoff of the original that has been put on by children and teens television network Nickelodeon every year since 1988, which makes 2017 the 30th edition of that show. The Kids’ Choice Sports Awards were launched in 2014. Winners receive a ceremonial orange blimp trophy, which was a logo for the network for the first 25 years of the channel’s existence.
 
While some special awards are given out by Nickelodeon staff, the main awards are all voted on by Nickelodeon viewers, meaning that they primarily represent the interests of a younger audience.
