Honours Ribbons awarded for service to the Institute and Photographic Industry.

The awarding of an AIPP honour is the highest level of recognition the Institute can award for contribution to the industry, they are not given lightly and considerable research is undertaken on possible candidates. The assessment and review of nominees is an ongoing process that can take many years as nominees progress to the top of the list. Each year the ongoing contribution and actions of nominees are assessed and can influence the nominees' viability as an honours recipient.
