GPT-4o
Judge & Evaluator
The winner of this SVG challenge is O4-mini high (2025-04-16) Player 2

Judge's Analysis

    Player 2's image demonstrates greater creativity and technical quality, with more detailed penguins, accurately depicted candy canes, and a well-rendered ice floe.

    The sunset background is visually appealing and adds depth to the scene.

    While Player 1's submission is simpler and adheres to the prompt, it lacks the compositional strength and detail seen in Player 2's work.

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.
