If you are talking about a Business Plan for the KPCB Entreprenuership Award, or really any award except Website and Chairman's, you don't submit it. These awards are "Judged at the event". Make sure you have it at your pit so that when a judge stops by, a student can say "We have a great Business Plan - here it is" and have him/her highlight specific pages in it. And make sure you have a student at the pit at all times so you don't miss the judges.

If you want to use it as part of your Chairman's, unless it is part of your essay, you can highlight it as part of your team's presentation. Or, see above.

Yes. Take a look at Section 5 - The Awards of the Game Manual.

All awards judged by competition judges are:

Motorola Quality Award
Rockwell Automation Innovation In Control Award

All other awards are judged by various groups pertaining to the particular award (WFA entries are judged by previous WFA Winners, Chairman's Award is judged by a Chairman's Award Judges Group, etc.).

For a complete list, check out page 3 of Section 5 of this year's manual. It helps to explain each award, and has a chart that shows you how each award is judged.
