The 'Womanizer' singer - who is due to perform at the annual event on Sunday night (09.08.09) - will be presented with the Ultimate Choice Award for her "extraordinary contributions to the entertainment industry".

The 27-year-old star is also nominated in three categories, Choice Music Single, Choice Female Artist and Choice Music Tour.

She will be up against stars including Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga and Kelly Clarkson.

Britney's performance will mark 10 years since the first Teen Choice Awards in 1999, where Britney - who is currently on a break from her world tour - was one of the performers.

The ceremony - which will be held at Universal City's Gibson Amphitheatre in California - will also feature appearances from Black Eyed Peas, The Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus and Cobra Starship with Leighton Meester.
