Judge & Evaluator
The winner of this SVG challenge is O4-mini high (2025-04-16) Player 1

Judge's Analysis

    Player 1's submission adheres more closely to the prompt, as the branches distinctly transform into hands that are clearly holding glowing orbs.

    The glowing effect and the overall composition are more visually engaging and surreal.

    Player 2's submission lacks clarity in the depiction of hands and orbs, making it less effective in fulfilling the prompt.

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.

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.
