Kiefer wins Counts award at IAPME
Junior Adam Kiefer won the Will Counts award for student photojournalism at the annual Indiana Associated Press Media Editors’ conference April 15.
To compete for the award, Kiefer submitted 10-15 of his photos, at least five of which were published in a newspaper in 2015. His photos have been published by Corbis, a creative resource with a number of branded websites where Kiefer works as a contract photographer, and the Indiana Daily Student, where he works as a staff photographer.
Last year, one of Kiefer’s main projects was an IDS package, “Rolling with the Derby Girls,” the story of junior Becca Twait, a member of the Bleeding Heartland Roller Derby team her sophomore year.
