Winners for January and February will be rolled over to and acknowledged at the 2021 presentation.
Should any sportspeople achieve outstanding results throughout the coming months of 2020 they will also be included at the 2021 awards night.
Secretary for the Berrima District Sports Awards, Sharon Eddy said the sports awards committee would like to thank the local sporting community for their support over the past 40 years.
"We look forward to continuing to acknowledge the amazing sporting achievements from our district," Eddy said.
"We would also like to thank our awards sponsors for their continuing support: Moss Vale Newsagency, Southern Highlands Interior Lining, Tyrepower Bowral, Ace Internet Services."
The Committee of Berrima District Sports Awards also acknowledged the passing of the late Russ Watman.
"The Committee of the Berrima District Sports Awards would like to acknowledge the wonderful contribution of the late Russ Watman," Eddy said.
"Russ passed away recently at Burrawang. He was a committee member of the sports awards for 36 years."
Fellow past member, Lyle Schofield recalls that he does not think Russ missed a monthly meeting in the whole 36 years.
"Russ was dedicated to the awards and knew aspects of the constitution and meeting etiquette like no other," Schofield said.
"He could always be relied upon to meticulously organise the presentation night, seating and raffle prizes and still attended all presentation night after he resigned from the committee.
"He will be very much missed from the sports awards."
