The rubric

Scored out of 40

Every submission is a single self-contained SVG generated from the exact same prompt. Judges render it as-is — no CSS, no external assets — and rate it on four things.

10

Is it a pelican?

A recognizable body, long neck, and — above all — the signature pouched beak. Seagulls need not apply.

10

Is it a bicycle?

Two round wheels, a frame that connects them, pedals, and handlebars. Unicycles score half.

10

Is it riding it?

The bird must actually be seated on the bike — wings toward the bars, feet toward the pedals.

10

Flair

Helmets, beaches, motion lines, a little sun. Points for charm that survives without breaking the SVG.
