GPT-4o
Judge & Evaluator
The winner of this SVG challenge is GPT-4.1 nano (2025-04-14) Player 2

Judge's Analysis

    Player 2's submission better adheres to the prompt, with a clear depiction of an upside-down tree where the roots extend into the sky and the leaves touch the ground.

    The composition is visually stronger, with more detailed and naturalistic branches and roots.

    Player 1's submission is less refined and lacks the clarity and creativity present in Player 2's design.

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.

AI Judging Process

Creativity

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.
