History
TIPA was established in 1991 as an association of European photography and imaging magazines. Since 2009 members have joined from outside of Europe.[2]
Activities
Each year the editors of the member magazines vote for the best products introduced to the market during the previous 12 months, taking into account innovation, cutting-edge technology, design, ease-of-use and the price to performance ratio of the products.[3]
