[1] Apart from the competition, the festival holds classes, seminars, workshops, and exhibits related to the animation profession.

[2] The name "Animahenasyon" is the product after combining the Filipino-language words for "animation" and "imagination", namely animasyon and imahenasyon (also spelled as imahinasyon) respectively.

Animahenasyon taps on locally produced animation materials and content that can be promoted and marketed both within the Philippines and internationally.

Other categories included the presentation of music videos, title sequences, public information, demonstration reels, and television series.

For the exhibitions, the categories are full-length animation, special citation, and the presentation of past Animahenasyon winners.
