NEW YORK CITY — New York City is asking New Yorkers to vote on the best jingle that will become the city's 2-K Child Care program official anthem.

The Mayor's office launched the competition in April asking New Yorkers to submit 15 to 30-second jingles encouraging families to apply for 2-K.

The submissions then were reduced down to five remaining finalists.
