The Borough of Bath is asking for the public’s help in creating a motto that will capture the importance and spirit of the borough. The competition for the new motto runs until Sept. 6 and is open to all members of the public, not just residents of Bath.

There is no limit to the number of mottos you submit; however, each motto must be no more than 10 words and not copied from another town.

To submit a motto, email it to bathmotto@gmail.com or drop off your idea on paper to the borough’s municipal building. Each entry must include your name and connection to Bath.

The winner will receive gift cards to various borough businesses.
