There is no requirement, but the contest is designed for participants with basic programming knowledge (control flow, loops, etc.). If you are not sure, you can try some sample problems here and look at past contests here.
Breakfast and lunch will be provided, and the contest will be run on a CMU computing environment so laptops are not needed. Participants are permitted and may want to bring paper copies of APIs/libraries.

Anyone in grades 9-12 can compete. Participants must register through their teacher/coach.
