It's so sad to know that this competition is not a healthy competition. I participated in Visual Studio 2010 Extension contest as well and I can bet that that was a much fair competition. If people can't get good rating/votes for themselves they are down-voting others . I remember in VSX competition people voted each others and gave a fair voting to all contestants but this competition is not the same . Sigh!!!

If you read the Conditions of Entry Score (votes) is not stated as a judging criteria ( just comments). Rank and popularity will be taken into consideration which I guess have no relation with the score.
And the winner will be determined by the CodeProject assigned judges. So by definition do not worry too much about if this is a healthy competition or not.
Please correct me if I have misunderstandings about how the winner will be determined.

My concern is not just about winning or losing the competition but it is about ethics.

Don't you worry, we check the votes. We disqualify people if there is wrongdoing

From the conditions of entry: Employees (or a member of their immediate family) of The Code Project or of Microsoft or any of their affiliates, subsidiaries, advertising or promotional agencies are also ineligible to participate.
Microsoft employees are ineligible to pariticipate in an Android competition?!

Actually I think that Microsoft is a sponsor of CodeProject (I don't know this with 100% certainity though). If that's the case it makes sense for MSFT employees to be excluded.

That implies that Microsoft is sponsoring Android development? I guess that this competition is sponsored by Motorola. I think they are fiddling on the own "Windows Phone" which will be non-starter because of the limited access to the device. Only Silverlight, for sync on Windows youll need a crappy software. It is a joke on which only Microsoft and its shareholders will not laugh. Remember Zune or Kin. What have Apple and Android accompülished in that time. They started a revolution!!! You only got to compare the possible features as multitasking, changebiity or system access. Press F1 for help or google it. Greetings from Germany

No the contest is sponsored by Code Project and just like the many other competitions it has no affliation with the manufacturer. Besides, since Android is a Goolge property it would make more sense if Google were the sponsor, not Motorola.

No, it just implies that like all contest, employees, family members, sponsors are not allowed to enter.

It was only a guess of mine. I am very happy about it, because I have a "Milestone" what is the name of Droid 1 in europe. But my programming skill for android are very underdeveloped and Eclipse is still confusing me. Press F1 for help or google it. Greetings from Germany
