[UPDATE – Also see our all-new Creative Cloud 2021 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.

The full CC suite will give me the power to create things of value across different formats – illustrations, infographics, videos. The potential is immense.
@Tom
BTW I’d _LOVE_ to have FrameMaker back on the Mac
:-D
Regards, Tom
Would love to win. Enjoy so many Adobe products in the past and would love to have the latest and greatest. I would like my edits to be more professional-looking.
I will spend the summer getting ready to be the best graphic designer,
Thanks!
What would I do with the CC 2014 release?
Simple – create without limits.
Using imagination to create beyond expectation with Adobe CC 2014!
I’m working on a indie videogame project within a small – 3 people – team of designers (www.shattering-game.com) and we still don’t have enough funds for our necessary software and programmers. Because of that we cannot use our full potential.
We are now graduating final year at graphic design uni and that means I’m going to be cut off from our being able to use Adobe software there. Without the software that’ll let us work on promotional materials, we won’t be able to find sponsors and this will make the whole project freeze until the better times.
Winning this contest might be our chance to resume our work and release our game finally.
I plan to make awesome textures for my 3D models!
It is insane yet another improvement of Adobe’s already professional programs, do these guys even sleep? This software makes us all look as professional as people who actually get paid mad money to do this work.
I will promise to make my own projects look as polished as the people who actually make this world a commercially viable place, driven to make money.
Kudos on the hard work that Adobe does and kudos on prodesigntools.com for this offer.
Oh, I forgot one important answer to “What do you plan to do with the new Adobe CC 2014 Release?”:
I also plan to have lots of fun while using Adobe CC :-)
A lot of awesome photo manipulation
Plan to reach new heights in conceptual art with Photoshop CC!
I plan on making beautiful grungy art from my photos
I plan on taking over the world one design at a time.
I will GET TO WORK!
To be perfectly honest, I Never rent my software. This new trend is somewhat disturbing to a lifelong and loyal user/updater of Adobe software. I am aware that you will not change your latest marketing direction. SIGH!
However, free is good. Actually, free is Great. I would not turn it down and my video business will definitely benefit from the latest applications.
It is always a challenge learning and perfecting the latest Adobe functions just in time to see them update all over again.
I love cc now and can’t wait to use the latest to improve my drawings and photographs.
I am always amazed the things cc does already.
My husband is currently using Production Studio Premium CS5.5. I was going to buy CS6 for his upcoming birthday, but a free CC2014 would be a great gift, don’t you think?
Maybe I could get him away from his computer from time to time. We could use it on our vacation without having to pack the software and … Hmm! Maybe this is not a good idea ……
Hi Faye, for the video applications (Production Premium suite) there have been HUGE improvements in CC 2014 compared to CS5… See here for more details:
What’s the Difference Between Adobe CC 2014 vs. CS6, CS5, CS4 & CS3?
Piles of photos are waiting to be edited….
I would be learning to work with Adobe CC at home instead of having to go to library.
Hey Stasys,
For learning CC and other apps, here are dozens of free Adobe books you can download.
I would use it to learn more about lightroom and photo editing in photoshop
Trying to leave my day job to start my own company. This would really help!
I am in the process of developing my business plan to relaunch my freelancing services. Funding is very difficult in the area I live in and at the top of my start-up costs is the Adobe CC subscription. It would help me tremendously if I could kick off my business with this prize and aid in my business relaunch.
I’m excited about all the new features, and trying many of the programs I have yet to experience including your marketing services.
Hello Roseann, best of luck with your new business! If you would like to try out the new applications, you can find them all direct-linked here:

I’ve been mainly using only Photoshop for my photo touch-up needs and design work, I’d love to get back again into the the video production game with the best-in-class Premiere and After-Effects CC versions~
What do I plan to do with the new Creative Cloud 2014?
The same thing I do every night, Adobe—try to take over the world!”
