Judge & Evaluator
The winner of this SVG challenge is O3-mini high (2025-01-31) Player 2

Judge's Analysis

    Player 2's submission is more visually cohesive and adheres better to the prompt.

    The tree's trunk extends naturally from the cloud, and the roots reach toward the ground in a clear and deliberate way.

    While Player 1's concept is creative, the execution is less polished, and the tree's integration with the cloud and ground is less convincing.

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.

Prompt Adherence

How accurately the SVG captures the essence of the prompt.

Visual Appeal

Aesthetic quality including composition, color usage and overall visual impact.

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.
