All-Star Rookie Award/ Chairman's award?

[Programmer3941]

My rookie team submitted an essay and executive summary online (even though we're not doing anything with a NASA grant) and is preparing a video and tricked-out notebook. However, we have also been preparing for a "Judges' Interview." Is that just a component of Chairman's Award submissions, or is that a necessary part of getting the Rookie All-Star Award (or do all teams do that?)?
I suppose, from reading this thread, that we at least need printed copies of our essays and our DVD for the judges at our event.

Any guidance along these lines would be much appreciated.
