HIPA | Hamdan International Photography Awards

Held annually under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Hamdan International Photography Awards (HIPA) celebrate the art of photography and its ability to tell powerful human stories.

For three consecutive years, the agency produced the Grand Ceremony in Dubai, each edition built around a distinctive theme — from Life in Color to Happiness and The Challenge. The productions blended film, live performance, and immersive visual storytelling, honoring winning photographers before an audience of international artists, jury members, and dignitaries.

A celebration of creativity and emotion, the event reflected Dubai’s growing role as a global platform for art and cultural excellence.
