In the broadest definition to publish is to make (an item/article etc) known to a third party there is absolutely no reference to print/payment of the validity of any particular media. The Smithsonian might have their own definition (which isn't defined it seems) and I guess I'd submit regardless however I wouldn't cry if a prize was revoked after the issue of prior publication was raised.
