Disarming.

One word, opposing feelings. This adjective is used to indicate something or someone that can eliminate hostility and conflict. The prefix dis- usually stands for negation. Without arms. Today more than ever, we feel the need to abandon violence and take up the arms of peace, disarm war and arm ourselves with courage, disarm hatred and arm ourselves with humanity. This word can make reference to war and be applied to all possible contexts where disarming means extinguishing hostile fire. Disarming is also a synonym for discouraging or disheartening, just like indifference. With all that in mind, the Open Call provides an open space of different meanings that can be interpreted by photographs. The contest is open to young people under 35 and aims at selecting a project using contemporary visual language, with no constraints in terms of genre or technique. Works fully made on a computer or photomontages are also admitted. In the Open Call, CRAF will focus on the growth potential of young photographers and the view of the world by young generations.
