Welcome to the April 2012 RAP CD as we present the 2012 RAP Awards Best of the Rest Part 1. This month we feature Commercials with Small Market Commercials on tracks 1 through 13. Medium Market Commercials are on tracks 14 through 21, and Large Market Commercials on tracks 22 through 27. These entries came very close to making it to the finals, some missing it by one vote, which is why we can't emphasize enough how important your votes are and how much every vote counts. Hats off to all for work well done! (Note: The name listed next to the entry title is the name of the individual submitting the entry. In most cases, this person is the entry's producer, copywriter, or voice talent, or any combination thereof. In cases where the person submitting the entry was not listed in the credits, we have substituted the producer's name.) We wrap it up with audio from Dave Foxx for this month's Production 212 column. Next month it's the 2011 Radio And Production Awards Best of the Rest Part 2 – Feature Productions and Promos!
