The AP doesn't always issue a second or third place winner. I've submitted entries for a former employer and I know for a fact that we would submit multiple submissions for one award and we weren't surprised when only a first or second place award was listed. Sometimes, if the pieces are bad, no winner will be picked. It all depends on who is listening and judging. AP doesn't pick the winner, a different group of journalists from another city are the people who chose the winners.
