You know, real balls wouldn't be someone submitting your video as theirs. Real balls would be submitting your video under your name, but their address so they can keep the prize.
Same thing happened to me. A Youtube commenter told me Immerse had won in the General and Character Profile category but I never sent it to that con...
The funniest part about the whole thing is that I uploaded the video on 2/15/11 and their contest deadline was 2/18/11. Meaning it took less than 3 days for this to happen. And I didn't even get a kiss afterwards.
If I had uploaded it a few days latter, they might have had to submit one of their own videos ... Oh the horror!
Although it did not win, this has also happened to me.
I'm always shocked at the brazenness of people who steal videos and then submit them to cons, which usually require the submission of their personal data.
I also wanted to point out, video theft like this is boring. Video thieves should steal the contest coordinators videos instead. Now that's entertainment.

Hell, steal the contest coordinators themselves. THAT would be entertaining.
