I believe everything is drawn from a clean sheet of paper (to use old school terminology) to support the Inventor Award submission. They may have used the 221 drawings for some reference dimensions, but I don't think they pulled in the complete modules.
I think Autodesk wants to see you use all of the tools and show your capability, so you probably made the right choice by redrawing everything.
Personally, I see value in both approaches. By drawing everything, you learn all of the tools and show the Auodesk judges that you understand the software, the geometry of the parts and the assembly. But, in this "real world" we often refer to, you would probably pull in models of standard parts and vendor parts and then focus your time on the unique components.
My crotchety old person opinion is that it should be illegal to try to win the award. Do things because you like doing them or because it helps others. Don't do things to win awards. - Madison [more]
