Judge & Evaluator
The winner of this SVG challenge is O3 high (2025-04-16) Player 1

Judge's Analysis

    Player 1's submission adheres more closely to the surreal theme of a melting clock on a tree branch at sunset.

    The clock has a clear melting effect and is integrated well with the branch, while the sunset gradient enhances the surreal atmosphere.

    Player 2's submission is less refined, with a less distinguishable melting effect and weaker integration of the clock with the branch, reducing its visual appeal and adherence to the prompt.

These metrics analyze technical aspects of both SVG drawings. Look for differences that might explain the judge's decision. Use the "View Code" button above to see the SVG code for each drawing.

How does judging work?

SVG drawings are converted to static PNG images for evaluation. The AI judge receives the original prompt and both images, then determines which drawing better fulfills the evaluation criteria without seeing animations, interactivity, or SVG code.
