Congratulations Winners!
Please join us in congratulating the winners, runners-up and
finalists of the 23rd Annual Radio And Production Awards!
We have some newcomers to welcome to the Winner’s Table! First time
trophy winners include Jesse Simon, who tied himself for a rare
double-win in the Medium Market Promo category, Sophie Jackson takes the
Small Market Commercial category, and Jason Phelps claimed the Large
Market Commercial category. And welcome back for return visits, Sideshow
Mike Anderson, Jim Van Dusen, Sheldon Hovde, and Chris Pottage! Jim
picked up his second trophy, and the other three each picked up their
fourth trophy, putting them in the pack of a total of eight producers
who are now all tied for fourth place for all time most trophies won by
a producer. And hats off to the writers and voice talent, who in many
cases are not the producer, but winners as well!
