Longview area residents have another week to make suggestions for a new city slogan, but already the competition for a winning entry is fierce.

Since the Web site, www.brandlongview.com, was launched three weeks ago, recommendations for a slogan that will promote the city in its best light have been pouring in.

At last count, 1,758 entries had been logged, and more are expected. Residents have until the July 7 deadline to submit slogans.
