Seventeen was awarded the Best Youth Culture Magazine 2005 at the ADmag Awards on 6 April 2006. Says Seventeen editor Justine Stafford, "[This] is remarkable for a title that is not yet three years old and an absolute credit to the entire seventeen team". This is the second consecutive year that it has received top honours in this category and is the fifth award for the title, which won Best Youth magazine and the Rossi Trophy for the Best Consumer magazine award at the 2004 Sappi MPASA Pica awards, and Best Youth magazine (shared with Blunt) at the 2005 Picas.
