The Technical Image Press Association (TIPA)^[1] is an international, non-profit association advocating the interests of the photography and imaging magazine-publishing industry.

The association represents 30 titles, published in eight European countries and seven non-European countries.

History

[edit]

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

[edit]

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]
