The best imaging products of 2010 were voted on at the Technical Image Press Association (TIPA) General Assembly held from April 8'th to 10'th, 2010 in New York City, USA. The editors of the 28 member photo magazines from 9 European countries plus Canada, South Africa and the United States met to discuss the association's activities in the previous 12 months, new projects as well as to vote on the TIPA Awards 2010.
All TIPA editors usually have the opportunity to test most of the products launched during the previous year. However, those manufacturers who want to ensure that their new products are considered in the annual voting session are invited to send a sample directly to the TIPA magazines so that they can be evaluated and tested in detail. All items are returned after testing.
