Sony wins multiple Tipa Awards….but there’s a catch

Share

The Tipa association announced the 2025 winners. But keep in mind that these awards have a bad reputation.TIPA does receive money from companies—especially through logo licensing fees—and while it claims editorial independence, many in the photo community treat its awards with a grain of salt.

That’s why they create as many categories as possible to sell their fees to manufacturers :(
