Judge & Evaluator

The winner of this SVG challenge is Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview 05-06 Player 1

Judge's Analysis

Player 1's submission demonstrates greater creativity and technical quality, with vibrant colors, detailed designs, and clear depictions of both the giant snail and the time-traveling turtle under a starry sky.

The composition captures the idea more effectively with dynamic elements like the glowing cosmic clock.

Player 2's submission, while adhering to the prompt, is less detailed and lacks the visual appeal and imaginative elements seen in Player 1's work.

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.
