Technical Image Press Association

The Technical Image Press Association (TIPA) 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
The organization was established in 1991 as an association of European photography and imaging magazines. Since 2009, members have joined from outside of Europe.

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.

TIPA held its annual awards ceremony every second year 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.
