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

Judge's Analysis

    Player 2's submission adheres more closely to the prompt by clearly incorporating a city skyline above a lake distinctly shaped like a key.

    While Player 1 has an interesting design, the key shape is not as evident, making Player 2's work more aligned with the idea and visually cohesive.

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.
