Judge & Evaluator

The winner of this SVG challenge is Claude 3.7 Sonnet Thinking (2025-02-19) Player 1

Judge's Analysis

Player 1's image more clearly adheres to the prompt by depicting a lighthouse-shaped teapot pouring stars into a cosmic-themed teacup.

The use of color and composition effectively conveys the cosmic theme, enhancing creativity and visual appeal.

Player 2's submission is more abstract and less recognizable in relation to 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.

AI Judging Process

Creativity

Originality, innovative use of shapes and unique approach to the prompt.

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.
