About AP Leads

No one covers the globe like The Associated Press. Each week, AP breaks stories and digs deeper into ongoing events to produce an unmatched news report for our members and customers. Highlights are found via the Best of the Week and the Best of the States, which reward AP individuals or teams who do the most to enhance our competitive position in the media industry.

An internal committee reviews nominations by staff members for the two contests, selecting winners to receive company-wide recognition and a cash prize.
