Spaghetti bridge

A spaghetti bridge being tested in the Okanagan College contest, with a weight attached

The original Spaghetti Bridge competition has run at Okanagan College in British Columbia since 1983,[2] and is open to international entrants[3] who are full-time secondary or post-secondary students.

The winners of the 2009 competition were Norbert Pozsonyi and Aliz Totivan of the Szechenyi Istvan University of Gyor in Hungary. They won $1,500 with a bridge that weighed 982 grams and held 443.58 kg. Second place went to Brendon Syryda and Tyler Pearson of Okanagan College with a bridge that weighed 982 grams and held 98.71 kg.[4]
