HKIPP | About HKIPP

Background
Founded in 1987, Hong Kong Institute of Professional Photographers Ltd (HKIPP) is recognized as the most presentable and prestigious organization in the region, with a well-established circle comprising the best local professional photographers. Despite organizing regular meetings and seminars associating with photography technique and skills, we frequently exchange thoughts and ideas with overseas photographers and professionals in other fields to enhance our knowledge. Our emphasis is on the specialization in the industry and the enhancement of artistic level.

Awards
Since 1993, HKIPP assembles Awards biennially and invites renowned local and international professionals to be the judges of this fabulous event. Awards are presented by the judges to the winners as a recognition and endorsement for their outstanding photographic works. It is considered as a breeding ground for the photographic industry, a base for the talented ones to becoming a prominent professional photographer.

In 2007, we had successfully extended the scope of HKIPP Awards to Asia scale, with ‘HKIPP Asia Photo Awards 2007’ – the first Asian Photo Contest, staged. Thousands of entrants from Asia joined us. The Awards Presentation Ceremony, regional & Asia circulatory exhibitions were taken place remarkably in Beijing, Taiwan, Singapore and Macau. It has marked a new page for Awards and the Asia Photography industry.

Terms & Conditions
As a guideline for its members, HKIPP had developed a set of recommended contract terms and conditions, which helps improving communications between photographers and clients for a fair trade. The latest revision had been released in June 2006, which is attached at the latter part of Images for further reference.
