It does seem that they cover numerous categories. If I count correctly (I needed to use both hands and one foot), this year's lineup included 12 categories for cameras.

According to their website, TIPA makes the awards for products introduced to market during the 12-month period ending in March of the 'voting year' - March 2017 in this instance. They don't compare the new products against earlier models. The criteria for 'best' include "innovation, the use of leading-edge technology, design and ergonomics, ease-of-use, as well as price/performance ratio." However, it's not clear that the voting members have used or tried the all of the products. TIPA's description mentions that "Most TIPA members conduct their own product testing in order to give their readers informed and first-hand product reviews," but they don't seem to publish the ratings or scoring for each winning product; I would guess that there is plenty of subjectivity.

Edit: I spent some more time looking at the TIPA website. There is an overview of their approach to testing cameras: http://www.tipa.com/english/camera_test.html

They say: "To further support TIPA members with the testing of digital cameras, on 1 September 2017, TIPA appointed Image Engineering GmbH & Co., located in Cologne, Germany to perform routine digital camera tests based on an independent and objective testing method."

An overview of Image Engineering's test methodology is provided at a link on that page.
