History
The organization was established in 1991 as an association of European photography and imaging magazines. Since 2009, members have joined from outside of Europe.[1]
Activities
Each year, the editors of the member magazines vote for the best products introduced to the market during the previous twelve months, taking into account innovation, cutting-edge technology, design, ease-of-use and the price to performance ratio of the products.[2]
TIPA held its annual awards ceremony every second year[3] at photokina, a biennial trade fair for the photographic and imaging industries.
Since 2021 the awards have been at the PHOTOPIA Hamburg Festival of Imaging.[4]
