The competition itself, held in or around February, is three hours long and comprises five problems of varying difficulty (each worth 15 points, for a total of 75). It can be written in any programming language, except for symbolic computation languages such as Mathematica. Contestants may bring arbitrary printed reference material to the competition (that is, not electronic), such as pre-written code, or algorithmic texts such as Introduction to Algorithms by Cormen et al. Reference materials may also be supplied by the proctor. Competitors are additionally permitted to use the Internet to access an online reference for their programming language ([http://cplusplus.com/ example]).

Since 2000, Stage 1 has been offered in two difficulty levels, Junior and Senior. Every eligible high student may write either the Junior or Senior competition in a given year, but not both. Students are permitted to see both the junior and senior contests and may submit solutions to a mixture of junior and senior problems if they wish. Students who have at least two years of experience in computer science are strongly encouraged to write Senior.

Cash prizes are awarded for high scorers in both divisions. The CEMC also publishes results showing the names of high-scoring students (although it does not show their precise scores). The top twenty or so finishers in Stage 1 Senior are invited to Stage 2. High scorers in the Senior division of Stage 1 may also be considered for scholarships by the University of Waterloo.
