If FIRST does reject your essay and presentation, don't despair! You can still put all of that hard work to good use.
Best of luck!

No, it isn't. It has similar criteria, but they are
NOT the same. Many aspects cross over between the two awards, and teams who are competitive for one are typically competitive for the other as well. But Chairman's has a much broader scope and encompasses many areas that are not addressed by the EI award.
