Radio Students Win Best New Ad Competition for Cartridge World Commercial

Congratulations to students Matt Brousseau, Amber Calderon, Dan Pasquerelli, and Amanda Wheaton. They won first place for their commercial entry, "Evil Printer," in a BestNewAd.com competition sponsored by Cartridge World. Along with the first place trophy, they will share a $300.00 prize.

The winning effort was one of six student teams from the Radio Department in a contest that featured over two hundred online entries from various universities and colleges. Dan Pasquerelli and Amber Calderon from the Voiceover I course provided the voices, and Dan had this to say about the win: "This really means a lot to me. I've never won any sort of award, so I don't really know what to think right now!" Amanda Wheaton from the Writing for Radio class wrote the commercial. She offered this about the writing process: "I wrote it the night before class, it just came to me randomly. The win is absolutely awesome, it's great to get a start in the real world." Senior Radio major Matt Brousseau who produced the spot commented, "Once I put the pieces of the puzzle together, I knew we had the right combination. It's a great feeling. Congratulations to the whole group and thank you to the voters."
