Topeka (WIBW) - A dozen young artists were honored Thursday for their Christmas art.

St. Francis Health Center held its Christmas art contest awards ceremony. The 12 winners were chosen from 320 artists from five Catholic grade schools and Hayden High School.

First-place winners in each category got a Wii and a Wii fitness system. They also have an opportunity to attend a free art class through the Mulvane Art Museum.
