- [ ] Unpublished group (GRUPH)

## Deposit
- A single PDF, ZIP, or eligible upload containing all photographs in the group.
- Each photograph must be a separate file with a unique filename.
- A title list (CSV or TXT) listing each filename + a unique title per image.
- Maximum: 750 photographs per filing.

## Notes
- Filing fee: $55 per group registration (covers up to 750 photos).
- Each individual photograph is independently registered -- so you can sue for infringement of just one image without re-registering.
- For PUBLISHED images, the GRPPH form requires all images to have been first published in the SAME CALENDAR YEAR. If you have a multi-year collection, file one group per year.
