What is considered published?

I was thinking about entering a poem that I wrote into a contest. The rules say that it has to be unpublished. I wrote it a few years ago and since then have posted it on yahoo answers, my own website, and fliprap.com (a poem sharing website) where it won poetry of the week a few months ago. Are any of these considered publishing my poem?

    You need to contact the contest organizers and ask. I'd say yes, since you entered it in a contest at a site, but when in doubt always ask.
