"Are pictures still going into the perms."

Yes.

"What criteria is being used?"

Wellll..

Have a read through this discussion thread and in particular, the post at 17/01/11 5:01:

"Membership at Work.."

And I quote, to make things easier and keep it all under one roof;

"Exposure - Images should be properly exposed. All pertinent detail should be clearly visible. The image should be free of blown highlights and dark spots. Blown highlights and dark spots should not be confused with areas of white and black that are essential to an image; high key, noir, and harsh lighting contrast are acceptable, but must be executed effectively.

Color - Images should use color effectively. Images will be judged on white balance, judicious use of color, freedom from distracting color elements, etc. In the case of Black and White images, this category will be scored based on the technical expertise of the black and white conversion and the aesthetic of the tonal variations within the image.

Contrast - Images should make effective use of contrast. This includes contrast in both visual and thematic elements.

Focus and Bokeh - Images should be in focus. The focal point should be placed on the subject. Effective use of depth of field and bokeh, or artistic quality of the out of focus areas of the image will also apply to this category.

Framing and Crop - Images should be well cropped. The rule of thirds, the golden spiral, aspect ratio, and both positive and negative space will be considered. You are not limited to the 2x3 or 3x4 ratio captured by your camera.

Composition - Images should demonstrate good composition, for the purposes of scoring, this category refers to the organization of the elements within the photo. Symmetry, asymmetry, placement of images, and the effective use of foreground and background elements will be considered.

Kenesthesis - Images should exhibit an effective use of movement, either through the emulation of movement within the still image, or by the tension exhibited by stillness.

Artistry - Images will be judged on overall artistic merit.

Originality - You are encouraged to think outside the box.. or rather, ignore the box. In fact, there is no box. This aspect/factor reflects originality and innovative thinking."


And perhaps, to a lesser degree.. given the sizes allowable for uploads now;
