PhotoCON (フォトコン ,Fotokon?) is a Japanese photography magazine that emphasizes the participation of and contests for its readers. Its title alludes to "photo contest".
The magazine has a complex history. Photo Contest1 (フォトコンテスト, Foto Kontesuto) was a monthly magazine whose first issue was dated September 1956. This turned into the much more ambitious and very different Camera Age2 (カメラ時代, Kamera Jidai), a monthly magazine that ran from January 1966 till January 1967. The earlier magazine returned as the twice-monthly Junkan Foto Kontesuto3 (旬刊フォトコンテスト) from May 1967, from January 1968 till October 1973 Gekkan Foto Kontesuto4 (月刊フォトコンテスト) and from January 1974 until December 2007 Japan Photo Contest Monthly5 (formally 日本フォトコンテスト, Nihon Foto Kontesuto; normally フォトコンテスト, Foto Kontesuto).
