Are you seriously implying that the there is something wrong or improper going on here?

If so, I think it is shear silliness. The connection takes more twists than a Rube Goldberg Mechanism.

I think that a more likely scenario is that a Chief Delphi member found out about a contest she thought other Chief Delphi members would find interesting and perhaps even rewarding in terms of a college scholarship.

Occam's Razor as well as my general faith in mankind makes my choice of which explanation is most likely correct pretty straightfoward.
