Animorpha, the typical festival glass award of an amorphic shape, wasn’t presented only to Ivo Špalj during the opening ceremony, but also to the winners of the national competition Czech Horizon. Unlike in the festival’s international competition, the winners of Czech Horizon aren’t selected by a jury, but by a group of Czech animation professionals united by the Council of Animated Film. All 112 members cast their votes before the festival and picked the following winners:

- Best Commissioned Work: Fake News in the Digital World by Kryštof Pacourek
- Best Music Video: Talya La Lie: Shredder by Eliška and Lee Oz
- Best Televison / Online Series: episode Truffles from the series Hungry Bear Tales by Kateřina Karhánková and Alexandra Májová
- Best Student Film: Daughter by Daria Kashcheeva
- Best Short Film which had to compete in one category with feature films for the first time this year: Washing Machine by Alexandra Májová
