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 submission is highly creative, visually engaging, and adheres closely to the prompt with a clear depiction of a snail and rocket racing on an abstract track.

    The cosmic theme and detailed elements such as planets and a finish line enhance the visual appeal and storytelling.

    Player 2's submission, while abstract and minimalist, lacks clarity and a direct connection to the prompt, making it less effective in conveying the idea.

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.
