It was an exciting idea for a lot of people, a chance to create something that will live in a city's history. With that came a challenge. How do sum up a city into just one symbol?

Columbia City Council has adopted an official city of Columbia flag, which was designed by local artist and business owner Bryson Leach.

It's a city known for things including the Mule Day celebration and the museum of a president. Now the public's being put to the test to see how they can visually represent the city of Columbia.

A new contest has been launched encouraging citizens and local artists to design a new Columbia city flag.
