SIX young artists have come top of the tree in a Christmas card competition.

Moss Pharmacy in Sacriston, near Durham, ran a competition with local schools to find the best Christmas card design.

The winners were Phoebe Bradley, six, Liam Wind, six, Alexandra Moran, eight, Thomas Hockaday, seven, Sophie Butler, 11 and Siobhan Graham, ten.

They each won a battery-operated toothbrush and their designs have now been entered into the national finals of the competition, organised by the chemist chain.

The winner of the final will receive a trip to Disney World in Paris.
