Given the daunting task of interviewing everyone, why not just follow the same process as before, but instead have the judges select the top 3-5 (arbitrary no.) to interview, then select the 2 winners.

Just my 2 cents...
It is a daunting task, but the interview process should provide a valuable experience for the students. Most students in high school haven't been through a serious interview like this, where they're asked to relate experiences, knowledge, and basically sell themselves (interviewing to work the counter at McDonalds really doesn't count!).
