PhotoCON
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 Contest (, Foto Kontesuto) was a monthly magazine whose first issue was dated September 1956. This turned into the much more ambitious and very different Camera Age (, Kamera Jidai), a monthly magazine that ran from January 1966 till January 1967. The earlier magazine returned as the twice-monthly Junkan Foto Kontesuto from May 1967, from January 1968 till October 1973 Gekkan Foto Kontesuto and from January 1974 until December 2007 Japan Photo Contest Monthly (formally , Nihon Foto Kontesuto; normally , Foto Kontesuto).
