The association represents 30 titles, published in eight European countries and seven non-European countries.
The organization was established in 1991 as an association of European photography and imaging magazines. Since 2009, members have joined from outside of Europe.
Each year, the editors of the member magazines vote for the best products introduced to the market during the previous twelve months, taking into account innovation, cutting-edge technology, design, ease-of-use and the price to performance ratio of the products.
