at Imaging World
The year’s best cameras, lenses and imaging innovations – honored live on stage at Imaging World.
An evening celebrating the imaging industry’s innovations
On October 2, 2026, the Main Stage of Imaging World became the international meeting point of the photo and imaging industry: following its successful premiere in 2025, the TIPA World Awards Ceremony took place at Imaging World for the second time.
In front of a packed audience, representatives of leading manufacturers accepted their awards in person – for cameras, lenses, accessories and software solutions that, in the view of the international editorial teams, set new standards.
What are the TIPA World Awards?
The TIPA World Awards are presented by the Technical Image Press Association, an association of international photo and imaging magazines. They are regarded as one of the most important benchmarks for innovation in the photo and imaging industry.
