It never fails.  In every, single video contest there is almost always one rap entry.  It’s a no brainer.  It’s the easiest way to get a lot of required information out quickly and in a possibly amusing way.  I myself once filmed a rap video for a contest and the entry went on to win $5,000.  But that was way back in 2007 when the concept was still fresh.  Today, the rap video idea is pretty played out.  Even though there is always at least one rap video submitted to every contest, it seems like the rap videos never, ever win.  Oh…until now.

A few weeks back I blogged about the Department of Health and Human services Swine Flu PSA contest.  Apparently the got more than 200 entries and for once, a rap video beat out all the other contenders.  Here’s the winner.

First place.  Prize: $2,500 and a national TV spot.

What cracks me up about this video is that the guy is a real doctor!  Guess Health and Human services thought that’d be a nice hook for a TV spot.  You can read more about the contest and the winner on the ….official white house website??  Holy crap.  That’s a pretty sweet prize  in and of itself.  http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/Rapping-Doctor-Wins-H1N1-Video-Contest/
