The chances of that actually happening are approximately equivalent to your chances of having a meteor drop on your head while waiting in line to buy tickets to a Superbowl smackdown involving your home State's purported "NFL" team.

We have had personal experience with a photographer submitting a photo to an international competition and winning. Unfortunately the photograph was taken on our private property. There was no possible way the photograph could have been taken from the road, sea or neighbouring private property. There also was no doubt that it was our prpoperty.
It was interesting to hear the excuses when the award winning photo was published in the local paper. Fact is the photographer was trespassing and making money from the trespass.
