Obviously 47 is a member of the Hall of Fame (and in the same fashion, what is the ongoing status of 47's HoF display?), but 65 are not. 65 has a tremendous history in that regard, as well, though, with regional Chairman's in 2003 and 2005, and as one of the National finalists in 2001. It would seem somewhat unfair to deny those who are continuing over from 65 a chance at winning a Chairman's Award.
In my estimation, I'd assume that 51 will have it's "own" Chairman's history, and would be allowed to submit for the award, though wouldn't be allowed to rest their laurels upon the work of either 47 or 65. That's just my guess, though.

The announcement says that team 51 is preserving the Hall of Fame status of Team 47, and the team combination document states that Championship eligibility is maintained.
