But Chaguo La Teeniez is known for more than just being an awards show. The entrance to the show is the most talked about than the actual event itself. This year was no different. Singer Wahu and her crew arrived in style on a motorcade of 3 Hummers. Artist Mejja, who also scopped Teeniez Red Carpet star arrived aboard a helicopter. He is not the only celeb to pull this stunt at this awards show though. A few years ago, artist Prezzo also arrived in a chopper he had rented from Wilson airport which was less than a mile from the venue and cost Kshs80,000! Code Red DJs unit who also won the Teeniez Spin Doctors award redefined their "red hot" slogan. They arrived as firefighters complete with a fire engine. Their frontman DJ Stylez also bagged Teeniez Style Celeb. Last year, the awards show changed the naming of their categories to more teenage friendly names. They also had two rounds of voting for the nominees. Only teenagers aged between 13 and 19 are allowed to vote for their favourite artists and celebrities for the awards. The event is organized by The Insyder magazine, a publication dedicated to High Schools and teenagers and Fanta.
