I would like to enter some of the pieces I have on abctales in competitions...but most competitions require, "not previously published." Is it ok to enter material that has been on abctales?

This is a moot point and one that has raged around here for a while. Basically it's up to the competition people. We do not regard something on here as 'published' - after all it's still entirely yours, you can remove it when you want and you can do with it what you will. My advice on this one is to remove it from here before entering a comp but I wouldn't declare it as 'previously published'.

thanks tony, it would be a considerable deterrent to putting things on the site if it meant they couldn't be offered elsewehere, wouldn't it? so that's great.
