Hamdan International Photography Award (HIPA) is a prestigious global photography competition that was founded in 2011 by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai. The competition has a pioneering vision for photography, as it aims to promote the art of photography and encourage photographers to share their creativity and passion for the craft with the world.

In addition to the photography competition, HIPA also offers a range of courses and workshops that provide aspiring photographers with the opportunity to develop their skills and knowledge. These courses cover a wide range of topics, including basic photography skills, advanced techniques, and post-processing.
