Banner for the upcoming Pasta Contest at the Museo. The image features a fork at the top left with spaghetti on it that spools out to spell the word "pasta" in the center of the image. At the bottom between two straight pieces of spaghetti the words "Contest 2026" are printed in white. This is all on top of a bright red backgroud.
