Winning photo captured by Graphic

For the seventh consecutive year, Graphic staff has returned from the annual Iowa Newspaper Association (INA) Convention in Des Moines with awards for their work throughout the year.
This year, Sherylee Gasper was awarded second place among Class 2 weeklies for her feature photo below, captured at a Lake Mills High School basketball game.
In past years, the Graphic has been honored in a broad range of categories, including: Feature Photo; Best Series; Master Columnist; Excellence in Editorial Writing; Best Sports Photo; headline writing and newspaper marketing.
Gasper’s photo was selected from a pool of 32 entries in Class 2 weeklies. Judging was performed by members of the Wisconsin Press Association last fall.
“First and foremost, we put out the paper each week for the benefit and enjoyment of our community,” said Publisher Terry Gasper. “But, it is nice for your efforts to be recognized by your peers as top notch, as well.” He added that all current staff members have been the recipients of awards over the years. “Being a very small operation, we all wear many different hats throughout the week, so that makes the recognition even sweeter, as none of us specialize in one facet of the job.”
The INA convention was held at the downtown Marriott in Des Moines, and featured professional speakers, trade exhibitors and plenty of opportunities to network with newspaper representatives from around the state of Iowa.
