First Runner-up vs First Runner-up award

Both "first runner-up" and "first runner-up award" are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "First runner-up" refers to the person or team that finishes in second place in a competition, while "first runner-up award" specifically mentions the award given to the first runner-up. The choice between the two depends on whether you want to emphasize the position achieved or the recognition received.
