I'd argue it, because by definition you're touching the rim on a dunk. Otherwise, it's a layup. An extremely forceful and cool looking layup, but a layup nonetheless.
I think it looks better in-game where the only goal is to put the ball in the basket one way or another but in a dunk contest, I still don't think it should count. Again, it looks cool in its own way but if you're not touching the rim as you're putting the ball through the hoop I don't see how it can fairly be called a dunk.
