TIPA World Awards

The TIPA Awards are the world’s most sought-after accolade for photo and imaging products. We’re thrilled to have been honoured with not just one, but four TIPA World Awards this year—marking our 13th TIPA World Award overall and the 8th consecutive year we’ve received this prestigious recognition.

What are the TIPA World Awards?

TIPA are the Technical Image Press Association, a global panel of experts in the photo and imaging industry. The TIPA panel are renowned for their trustworthy appraisals and expertise.

Every year the panel meet to discuss, nominate and vote for the very best photography products, honouring around fifty products from the world of photography each year.

The TIPA Award rewards innovation, technological advances, design, ergonomics, ease of use and value for money. Award categories are not fixed and change every year according to the latest market developments.

The CEWE Freeform Sticker revolutionises personalisation and immediate printing, as it allows the image to be precisely cut along its contour, resulting in a distinct shape for the sticker. Users can effortlessly create customised stickers from either single or mixed images. This exciting innovation is now available at CEWE Photostations, making personalisation enjoyable and accessible to everyone.

Our 2023 TIPA World Award for “Best Photo Service” was awarded to our CEWE PHOTOBOOK with Recycled Paper which is 100% recycled, FSC® certified paper, with a silky semi-matte finish and brilliant white base showcasing natural colours and harmonious contrasts.

Our new personalised slipcase for the XL Square CEWE PHOTOBOOK received a coveted TIPA World Award in 2022. As the winner of the "Best Photo Service" category, you can expect fantastic quality from your personalised slipcase. It's designed to keep your XL Square CEWE PHOTOBOOK safe and secure. Made from a high-quality matte laminated board, the slipcase fits perfectly around your photo book, regardless of your chosen paper type or the number of pages you have.

Our 2021 TIPA World Award for 'Best Photo Service' was awarded in honour of our new A2 Calendar with Gold Highlights. Available in portrait or landscape, our A2 Wall Calendar with Gold Highlights is printed on high-quality, matte paper with a non-reflective surface and adds truly special finish.

The CEWE Photostation was awarded the “Best Retail Finishing System Worldwide” title in 2021 for both intuitive ease of ordering and the wide range of products on offer. The CEWE Photostation is available in selected Boots stores, allowing instant prints across a wide range of premium products.
