The Engineering Inspiration Award, for example claims as its criteria: "Award celebrates a team’s outstanding efforts in advancing respect/appreciation for engineering and engineers, both within their school and their community." I can't figure out how the judges would be able to pick that without an essay or something.

It's all about what you present to the judges. When they talk to your students in the pits, make sure they are equipped for success - ready to answer questions, show materials, and perhaps hand them a concise flier or handout with important facts about your team.
