IIUPE was started as IUPE (Inter University Photography Exhibition) at first in 2000 by North South University Photography Club as an endeavor, a vision to promote photography among the photography enthusiasts in Bangladesh.

Then in 2003 IUPE became IIUPE – International Inter University Photography Exhibition. IIUPE was established as the medium through which, promising artists would get a platform to showcase their skills and creativity to the world. IIUPE not only brings out the hidden talent in people and showcases it, but at the same time, establishes a network between all photography enthusiasts – both professional and amateur, giving them a chance to interact, a chance to learn from each other and a chance to expand their horizons even further.

IIUPE is being organized by NSUPC for the 8th time this year.
