COVID-19 forced the Student Athlete Advisory Committee of Heidelberg University and the Office of Athletic Marketing & Information to rethink the 2020 Siggy Awards. Instead of a gala in Seiberling Gymnasium, the virtual Siggys were co-hosted by SAAC Advisors Branden Jakubcin and Pat Christopher, along with Director of Athletic Marketing and Information Jeff Garvin.
The 2020 Siggy Awards drew nominations from Spring 2019, Fall 2019 and Winter 2019-20.
