[UPDATE – Also see our new Holiday Creative Cloud 2024 Giveaway!]
Over the past year we’ve given away a lot of software… Last month we held our biggest giveaway yet – a copy of CS5 Production Premium (see our lucky winner). This month things get even bigger and better – in partnership with Adobe, we’re offering a free boxed copy of the brand new CS5.5 Design Premium – the #1-selling Creative Suite edition…
Creative Suite 5.5 was officially released just two weeks ago, and contains a large number of new product features and improvements over CS5. But this prize is not an upgrade or education version – it is the shrinkwrapped, full commercial English version of CS 5.5.
CS5.5 Design Premium sells for $1,899 / €1,899 / £1,509 and includes Photoshop Extended, InDesign, Dreamweaver, Flash Pro, Illustrator, Acrobat X Pro, among others… (see the complete list of applications it contains) If you want to try it out first, the free trials also are now available.
This giveaway is open to residents of North America, Europe, U.K., Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa – and all you need to do for a chance to win is the following three steps:
- Follow us on Twitter and/or Like our new Facebook page – this will allow us to contact you if you win… (move to the next step if you already do)
- Retweet this post by clicking on the green “retweet” button just above, and/or Share this post on Facebook by clicking the blue “Share” button next to that.
- Done.
There’s a third way to enter too – just leave your email for our free occasional Adobe Special Offers newsletter in the sidebar to the right… and you’ll add another chance, plus receive future notification of new Adobe deals and coupon codes (once in a while, never spam).
Each of these actions counts as a single entry into the sweepstakes – so if you do all three, you’ll receive a total of 3 chances to win the CS5.5 premium suite.
Submissions are open until 11:59pm EDT on June 30th, 2011. The winner will be drawn at random from all Facebook fans and Twitter followers who have shared or retweeted this post, plus new newsletter subscribers – and we’ll announce this lucky recipient right here within one week from the closing date.
If you’re the one, we’ll ship you the shiny new shrinkwrapped CS5.5 Design Premium for free! We’ll contact you via Twitter or Facebook or email simply to get your address for shipping, and then announce here with just your first name and hometown. That’s all there is to it!
In the meantime if you want to learn more about the products, check out our Creative Suite 5.5 Release Review. If you’re considering moving up from your current version and wondering about pricing, see what the upgrade cost would be. Our most popular article on the subject is, “What is the Difference between CS5.5 vs. CS5 vs. CS4 vs. CS3?”
You may also want to know about the complete hardware requirements for CS5.5, or download and run a free working trial of any of the suites or products… Then get started using the software with dozens of hours of free video feature tours and tutorials.
If you like, you can also leave a comment below with what you’d plan to do with it if you win – good luck!

By entering, all entrants agree to release prodesigntools.com (the Sponsor), and its employees from all liability and claims relating to participation in the contest. No substitutions or transfer of prize or cash redemptions permitted by winner. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel, suspend or alter the rules and parameters of the sweepstakes. Sponsor also reserves the right to substitute a prize or prizes as Sponsor deems suitable in the event that prize becomes unavailable for any reason.
All federal, state and local taxes, as well as any customs duties, other taxes, fees and/or surcharges will be the sole responsibility of the prize winner.

One minor note: The box that Adobe generously sent us is officially for Windows, however because we already know it’s easy to switch CS5.5 platforms (e.g., from Windows to Mac, or vice versa), it should be no problem to change if you need to.
Can I WIN this? Can I?
Yes Daniel, anyone who enters in any of the 3 ways can!
i just liked and shared!! does anyone know when the contest winner(s) will be notified??
Hi Chrystal, the drawing will be held on Friday, July 1st – and we will contact the winner immediately at that point, and then publish the result here when confirmed.
i work with the creative suite every single day…
in one month i’ll leave the place i’ve worked the last three years to study.
there is so much more to learn and there are so huge possibilities with these programs, and it would be absolutely amazing to use the cs5 premium suite for my studies.
I really could use this program. I am a college student in graphic design and cannot afford to buy it. I HOPE I WIN!!!!!

Well, we want to upgrade to CS5.5 but it’s too expensive to afford.
I am a broke single mother who is desparately trying to get my book published on racism. I am a kind, honest and loving person who just wants to save this world from the evils of racism and hatred. I wrote this amazing book for the young adult and adult market and I have done a lot of Metaphysical Science Research on how evil and bad negative thoughts can actually effect everyone around them as their Aura is inately damaged by negative thinking. I am having a hard time trying to get it published because I can’t seem to find a free website that will download my mini-ebook. Unfortunately most Agents don’t care about saving the world, just what keeps their pockets lined. If I actually had one break in my life and I won this product it would literally save my life as it would give me the break I am looking for to help me to help save the world from the long overdue evils of hatred. If I won this product I could finally make a half-decent website and get my books published to save the world. The world needs more people to love and help each other not to compete with only greed in their hearts. If I won this world would benefit greatly (share the love), and there would be a way for more people I could help also.
P.S. I tried Microsoft Webmatrix and I don’t really like it, I would rather make a website from scratch. I love Adobe Dreamweaver, my cousin has it in New Zealand. Photoshop is the best too. If you check out my crappy website, that I can’t even download a lousy eBook on – you would see how much I actually would use, love and appreciate using the Adobe CS5.5 Design Premium Suite from ProDesignTools. Thank-you.
CS 5.5 is the best for web publishing and design by far
