Yes, http://www.youtube.com/direct was a temporary casualty of the
YouTube channel page redesign, though it's mostly back by now. The
actual code and instructions for using it is at
http://code.google.com/p/youtube-direct/
You could certainly "roll your own" contest and have people enter a
form on your site with their uploaded video id. Or you could use
YouTube Direct, which should do pretty much what you want, though it's
not designed specifically for contests.
