In ten years tipa awarded more than 90 products from over 30 companies in the photo & imaging industry. Since the beginning tipa magazines wanted tipa awards to become a trophy to be very proud of, and not just... another prize.
For instance, if there is no product eligible in one certain category, the tipa award for that category is dropped. Only the very innovative products are taken into consid-eration for the tipa awards. That is why they are considered the most prestigious.
