Someone falsley submitted my art, what now?

I was informed today that someone submitted my art for the Blizzard Three Year Anniversary contest on the European site, and then apparently won 3rd place.

Very bottom right. http://www.wow-europe.com/en/contests/threeyear/winners.html

My original artwork, submitted to DeviantArt September 28, 2006 http://erisana.deviantart.com/art/World-of-Warcraft-birthday-40536838

Also, here is the original screenshot that I used as a reference (just trying to further prove that I made this ><) http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y90/poisonlotus/1270499478_l.jpg

I'm finding it impossible to report, and I can't even post on their forums because of the whole EU thing...Is there some way to do this that I'm missing? That person does not deserve whatever prize they may have gotten, and he should be removed from the contest and the prize awarded to someone that actually worked for it.

Eris, I'm going to look into this for you. When I can get you more information, I will. I'm sorry to see that someone's plagiarized your work.

Who plagiarizes cake? Reythur and I were just boggling at that.

I just wanted to say that I am sorry to hear this has happened, Erisana. Hopefully we'll be able to provide you with some further information, however it might take some time before we are able to.

Also, the cake is awesome, and you have made me want cake. <3
