I suggest you read and re-read what Autodesk has on FIRSTbase on the
Inventor Design Competition.
Note that the initial judging is done by a panel of experts looking at the files you upload and the design presentation on your website - you won't be interviewed like you are for the judged awards at regionals.
Autodesk describes generally what they're looking for on the FIRSTbase page:

The Autodesk Inventor Award recognizes outstanding student achievement in mechanical design of the team robot using Autodesk Inventor software. The software gives teams the power to test designs and check for interferences in a virtual environment so issues can be resolved without creating a physical prototype. The judges look for quality of robot design, technical expertise, and presentation of the final design.

You use your website to present your designs (usually in screenshots and animation clips), highlight how you meet the award criteria and convey how Inventor helps your team put a competitive robot on the field.
