[UPDATE – Also see our new Holiday Creative Cloud 2024 Giveaway!]
Last June Adobe shipped the CC lineup of creative tools, the new product line that replaces 2012’s CS6. The CC version contains hundreds of new features compared to CS6, and it is available only via Creative Cloud membership.
Last week, Adobe announced that they will soon be shipping a major milestone upgrade to CC that will be called the Creative Cloud 2014 Release… And that is exactly what we’re giving away for free below, and it’s open to everyone worldwide.
In all, Creative Cloud 2014 will come with 15 new desktop applications (Photoshop CC 2014, Illustrator CC 2014, InDesign CC 2014, Muse CC 2014, and all your favorites), together with other complementary tools and services (such as Acrobat Pro, Lightroom, DPS, Behance ProSite, Typekit) and much more. See the entire contents of what’s in Creative Cloud, where all ongoing upgrades are automatically included at no additional charge.
So this means that all current Creative Cloud subscribers will automatically receive the new CC 2014 Release whenever they want it. We expect this software will be available to download immediately on the CC 2014 launch date, and you’ll be able to install and run it alongside any older applications you may have, including CS6 and CC 2013.
Meanwhile, Adobe is still continuing to offer the older Creative Suite 6 software for those who prefer to buy a static version with traditional licensing, and the free CS6 trials are still out there too. But with the Creative Cloud, you also receive access to download, install, and use the CS6 versions as well (in addition to CC 2013 and CC 2014), if you would like or need to.
We’ve given away over $28,000 worth of Adobe software over the years… And for this new giveaway, the prizewinner drawn will receive a fully-paid annual membership to the complete Adobe CC 2014 Release (valued at US$650 / €738 / £563), with everything you need to create anything. Our thanks go out to Adobe for generously furnishing this prize.

Also, I would like to become a pro with the new CC programs and make a living with graphic design and motion graphics.
I would use it to help grow my business.
I would love to see what can be done – past iD version 3! And to be able to use it on everything, everywhere…. and re-design the world – Awesome!
I already have Photoshop CC 2014 and love it.
To win the rest of the apps would be fantastic.
As an Artist and Photographer it would defiantly would be great to have the
Illustrator app alone.
It is what I have my sites on next, if I don’t win it.
I will hope to purchase it some day.
We would like to start a blog and CC 2014 would be a HUGE help!
I am planning to set up my own business providing creative services locally. It is about time for me to venture and build a legacy of my own. Cost of procuring these software has kept me out of reach and unable to build something on my own. Hope I would be given the opportunity.
I will conquer the world! :)
As a graphic/web design student, I want to first practice my skills and knowledge on these programs. And later use them as tools for my freelance business.
“What do you plan to do with the new Adobe CC 2014 Release?”
Help promote the company I work for, as well as just have fun!
Luck come to me
I would flex all of my creative muscles more freely, allowing me to begin a new era of creative freedom, and expression, never before seen in my life.
All doors are now open and my mind and creativity flowers covering my world and expanding dimensionally into other worlds.
wow, this feels great!
What Next?!
I will describe my self to the whole world, through AdobeCC.
Thanx…
Uncloud my creativity.
Who won the contest? It says the winner would be picked June 26th and announced on this page. Did I read it wrong?
Thanks for inquiring. We chose the potential winner and then attempted to contact him four times via email, from two different addresses…
However, hard to believe, but no response!
Per the contest rules, entrants have 72 hours in which to respond to email notifications. This time has now passed, thus we are in the process of reselecting and contacting a new winner.
So, it’s not over yet – please keep an eye on your email accounts!
With luck and timely response, we hope to be able to confirm the eventual winner next week.
@ProDesignTools
Hmmm . . . why not just post it here as a way of contacting the winner. What if your e-mail goes to spam?
What if it’s buried with a bunch of other stuff from you guys?
Just wondering (hopefully I wasn’t the guy you tried to contact).
That’s a good question but the answer is simple. We cannot publicly post or announce a winner here because if that person doesn’t respond within 72 hours then in fact they’re actually a non-winner. The reason for the limited response window is so that we don’t end up awarding the prize to a black hole, i.e., we ask Adobe to give the CC 2014 to a non-working or old email address (to no one basically!), can you imagine… We need to have positive human confirmation. The reason for 3 days (stated in the giveaway rules) is that’s a balance between how often the vast majority of people check their email, but not too long for everyone else to wait to get a confirmed winner.
Don’t worry, we send at least four different messages to the selected entrant from both corporate and personal email and/or social media accounts over a period of at least three days – so if it’s you, and you gave your regular working email address, then you’ll know it! Bottom line, we want someone real to get it and benefit from it.
We’ve run Adobe software giveaways like this one for many years and the process has worked pretty well, a lot of happy winners. So thanks for your patience and please stay tuned!
My first year subscription with the Creative Suite is nearly up. Sadly I cannot afford to renew for the whole package at the regular price just Illustrator and Photoshop. So getting a Free subscription to the whole suite would be wonderful!
We’re pleased to announce the winner of our Creative Cloud 2014 Giveaway, generously sponsored by Adobe…
The winner of the grand prize who will receive a free annual membership with all the latest CC 2014 apps is Athena Brown from Benton, Arkansas!
Upon learning that she had won the drawing, Athena said:
“Thank you, I am so excited – I never thought I would be the one to win!”
Congratulations to Athena, and thanks to everyone for participating! Stay tuned for more Adobe giveaways later this year.
As a person just entering the world of entrepreneurship, web design, blogging, etc I feel that this suite of products would help me greatly. I would truly enjoy an opportunity to use this product to help promote my business.
I can hardly keep up with all the great changes Adobe is making with the BEST software on the planet.
Thank you for making us home based designers the best we can be!
J.
