Impact Magazine has also won several awards at the annual Guardian Student Media Awards. It won Student magazine of the year in 2001 and was runner-up in this category in 2005 and 2007. It was also runner-up in the category for Student Publication Design of the Year for the 2006 awards. Writers for the magazine have also won individual awards, including Amy Franks for Student columnist of the year and Nosheen Asghar for Student diversity writer of the year in 2002, and Paul Robins for Sports writer of the year in 2004. The Guardian panel in 2001 described Impact as having "great design and great articles that brilliantly reflected its student readership but could have been a real stand-alone magazine".
Past Impact editors have received various industry awards such as Peter Truman, who was voted reporter of the year in the Press Gazette Regional Press Awards 2009 and Nicola Dowling who was voted multimedia journalist of the year in the same awards.
