Alkotásra

Alkotásra is a Hungarian postpositional form derived from the noun alkotás (creation, artwork) by adding the suffix -ra. It expresses purpose or direction and roughly translates to “for creation” or “for the purpose of creating.” The form is not a separate lexical item but a case-like phrase that attaches to a noun to indicate the intended outcome of an action or the target of a request.

Grammatically, alkotásra functions as a phrase that can accompany verbs of action and be used in announcements, criteria, or invitations. It is common in artistic, literary, educational, and cultural contexts, where it marks that the activity should lead to a new work or other creative outcome. The expression is often found in calls for submissions, competitions, commissions, or guidelines that specify the production of new works.

Examples of usage include: “A szervezők pályázatot hirdettek alkotásra” (The organizers issued a call for creations). “A kiállítás a diákok alkotásra ösztönzését célozza” (The exhibition aims to encourage students to create). In addition to announcements, alkotásra appears in forms and directives that specify the expected end product rather than the process itself.

Related terms include alkotó (creator, artist), alkotás (creation, work), and alkotói tevékenység (creative activity). The phrase contrasts with other purpose-oriented forms such as alkotásról (about the creation) or alkotással (with the creation), which serve different grammatical roles.
