Judge & Evaluator
The winner of this SVG challenge is GPT-4.1 (2025-04-14) Player 2

Judge's Analysis

    Player 2's submission demonstrates stronger adherence to the prompt with a clear depiction of a crowned cactus and a vibrant desert at sunset.

    The composition is well-balanced, and the warm, blended colors of the sunset create a more immersive atmosphere.

    Player 1's submission, while creative, lacks the same level of polish and depth in its desert scenery and crown 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.

AI Judging Process

Creativity

Prompt Adherence

How accurately the SVG captures the essence of the prompt.

Visual Appeal
