I guess that this competition is sponsored by Motorola.


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.

That implies that Microsoft is sponsoring Android development?


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