TIL my cousin's award winning brownies used a box mix base

My cousin won a local bake-off with brownies she passed off as fully from scratch. She told me later she started with a store bought mix and just added extra chocolate. Is it cheating to use a mix as a base in a contest that says all homemade?

That's just creative interpretation of the rules.

My friend once won a pie contest with a frozen crust she doctored up, so that "all homemade" rule gets pretty fuzzy.
