"Do photo contests typically allow entrants to heavily edit photos?"
This is going to depend on the genre of the contest, but for most contest types outside of the journalistic realm editing style will very much be a part of the process. You will typically submit the final print and no one will know what the original picture was. There are some contests out there with some pretty outrageous editing though!

I'm no expert but I think these shots often use slower shutter speeds, for example 0.5s instead of 0.01s. This increases the amount of light, but any movement that happens while the shutter is open will cause blur. Movement causes blur at fast shutter speeds too, but it's less noticeable because obviously you can move much less in 0.01s than you can in 0.5s.

I get that, but even a cheap tripod (I use a Joby) will hold a phone still for .5 seconds, won't it? You can put the phone on a 10 second delay, so any movement generated by you touching the shutter button would have dissipated by the time the photo is taken.

To my knowledge - yes
Why is a high-quality tripod needed? You can just set the camera to be on a timer so that it's not shaking (from you touching the shutter button) when it captures the photo. I think it's also possible to use an Apple Watch to trigger the shutter.
