Public to vote on new 'national anthem'

The tiny eastern Caribbean island of Montserrat is searching for a national song to call its own.

The government is asking the public to vote for one of six finalists that would be sung at festivals, school assemblies, churches and elsewhere.

The British territory currently uses the UK national anthem for all events.

Officials with state-owned Radio Montserrat said that people are voting online and filling out forms to choose a song.

The winning song will be announced during a cultural event on July 27.
