"Participate in" means you are going to be part of the competition. "Be at" could mean you are just a spectator. You could simply say "be in a competition."

"Turn on" means go from off to on. "Turn up" means increase the volume of the flow that is already on. "Switch on" is for electrical stuff (such as lights, a radio, etc.). |
