Judge & Evaluator
The winner of this SVG challenge is O3 high (2025-04-16) Player 2

Judge's Analysis

    Player 2's submission excels in creativity, technical quality, and adherence to the prompt.

    The detailed depiction of the snail and cheetah, along with the starry sky and clear race setting, creates a more visually appealing and complete narrative.

    Player 1's submission, while creative, lacks the depth and polish of 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.
