The awards night will provide a positive experience in a time when COVID has derailed so many competitions.
Tamworth's sporting landscape was blighted when the city went into lockdown this year.
And while the lockdown was lifted, community sports remains grounded until the state achieves a double-dose vaccination rate of 80 per cent.
Blake Mammarella, Tamworth Regional Council's sport and recreation development officer, said 2021 had been "really tough" for sporting bodies in Tamworth.
However, he believes that "we'll still get a large number of nominations".
The other gongs include the Sport Development Award. Nominations close on October 20.
