The winners were selected by the editors of 29 professional, amateur, and business publications in print and online, from Asia, Australia, Europe and North and South America. The TIPA nomination and voting process is significant.  After the main “trade show season” ends, stretching from late September through early February of the following year, nominations within categories are gathered by the TIPA Technical Committee. Equipment is tested and evaluated, and new categories, representing emerging imaging trends, are considered.

A list of finalists is compiled and sent to editors of the TIPA member publications from around the world, who then comment and make further suggestions about products that should be added to specific categories. After the information is gathered and analyzed, a list of finalists is chosen. Final votes are cast at a General Assembly of all member publications and the final winners are selected.

The grand awards ceremony and presentation will take place during photokina in Cologne, Germany on September 26, 2018.
