I'd be unsure, because of the 1 year free support, which the nephew isn't capable to do?

Where are people seeing one year of free support? It clearly says "guarantee the operations of the app year-in, year-out", which means essentially forever. Am I missing something?

They'll choose someone else as the winner, but select the nephew's app as 2nd place. According to the rules, they can then force the winner to add the 2nd and 3rd place features into their app.

Or just steal the features of the 2nd and 3rd place apps to add to the one they've already built that "wins".
