[UPDATE – Also see our all-new Creative Cloud 2021 Giveaway!]
Last June, Adobe shipped the new CC 2014 product line, a major milestone of creative tools and services that upgrades last year’s CC 2013 version, which itself replaced CS6 from 2012. This latest CC 2014 release contains over 1,000 new features and innovations compared to CS6 (across all apps), and it is available only via Creative Cloud membership.
As both CC 2014 and CC 2013 came out in mid-June, we expect the annual major release cycle to soon begin anew with the imminent launch of CC 2015… And that is exactly what we’re giving away for free below, and this offer is open to everyone worldwide.
Update: Now confirmed! The official shipping date for CC 2015 will be on June 16th.
In all, Creative Cloud 2015 will come with over a dozen new desktop applications (Photoshop CC 2015, Illustrator CC 2015, InDesign CC 2015, Muse CC 2015, and all your favorites), together with other complementary tools and services (such as Behance ProSite, Typekit, Creative Cloud Market) and more… In fact, the all-new Lightroom CC 2015 plus Acrobat DC Pro are already out today and available for download. See the entire contents of what’s in Creative Cloud, where all ongoing upgrades are automatically included at no additional cost.
So this means that all current Creative Cloud subscribers will automatically receive the new CC 2015 Release whenever they want it. We expect this software will be available to download immediately on the CC 2015 launch date, and you’ll be able to install and run it alongside any previous applications you may have, including CC 2014, CS6, or before.
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 2015, 2014, 2013), if you would like or need to.
We’ve given away over $30,000 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 2015 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.

I want explore the new features of ps cc
I would use it to manipulate photos and drawings to print on fabric for textile art, among other things.
i plan to use this to develop my skills so one day i can hopefully be an editor.
in the meantime i would like to use this for my school projects and for creating some of the rarest pepes possible.
As a student who is passionate about graphic design, branding, and creation, I plan on taking a whole new level of expertise by using Adobe Creative Cloud 2015 for my career.
Without a doubt, Adobe is the best creative software tools company and I would be honoured to be able to use their products to become a greater entrepreneur and reach a high level of proficiency with this new edition of their Creative Cloud products!
With CC 2015 I would Learn valuable editing techniques and grow my photography.
Adobe CC 2015 is a dream! I could organize my photos and bring out the best in them. I also look forward to doing some work in video with all the wonderful programs for that. Also, I don’t want to leave out my design work which I plan on taking from just printed pieces to the web. Very interesting and exciting times we live in and I want to be a part of it all!
I used to hate Adobe CC because I thought it was crazy expensive but now I’ve been using it for almost a year, I love it really much!
I will continue using the applications daily and provide feedback to Adobe with bugs, issues and suggestions on how to improve them.
Dude! It’s Adobe Suite! I’m a freelancer, and freelancers rock with Adobe.
I plan to use CC to continue my family history in scrapbooks. I currently use PSCS6 and I use it daily. I would love a chance to try the cloud-based version.
Sure Theresa – but just keep in mind that Photoshop CC is not really cloud-based!
The 10 Most Common Myths About Adobe’s Creative Cloud (CC)
Work, learn and teach others the wonders of Adobe :-)
I’ve had some years of experience in directing / camera-operating & cinematography around the world as an employee. In the office I was one of the people who was responsible for the post-production as well.
I’ve recently started freelancing (because I want to keep working in the creative field, by telling stories visually, instead of applying for a completely different job) — because the company I used to worked for went bankrupted — which put me in a pretty tough spot for a while.
Recently I’ve been getting more and more emails, with questions asking if I do post-production myself as well. If I’d win this free full membership, that’s exactly what I could offer them. But not now. So with the new Adobe CC 2015 I would be able to satisfy my (current and possible future) clients by being able to deliver them their full projects — from ‘page to stage’ — so to say, which is exactly what they are asking for.
I mainly used to use Lightroom, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, Illustrator, InDesign and during my final year as an employee, I started working with SpeedGrade as well. These are the programs I’d mainly be using as a freelancer as well. I know these programs quite well, but I lack the money to afford a membership right now, which makes it impossible for me at the to offer it to my (current and possible future) clients.
However, a one year free full membership will, by the looks of recent requests, most likely bring me more clients and bigger projects, because I can deliver the projects including the post-production. And hopefully this will result in making it possible for me to pay for the full membership of 2016 next year, so that I can keep working on my biggest passion: to tell stories visually.
I´ll edit my next projects with CC 2015. Better Color Grading and a lot of new functions I have to test out!
Edit photos, design my promotional work, sort my image archive and create books for self-publishing, all while staying creative and organized.
One of the most amazing products on this earth with magical powers to create a fantasy world with colors, graphics,photos,videos and more.
There are endless, virtually limitless possibilities with this software to be as creative as you can be.
So coming back to the Question : “What do you plan to do with the new Adobe CC 2015 Release?”
I plan to take this to the next higher level in design and publishing …create master digital and web applications, wonderful graphics to my taste and bring my imagination to design.
Yes that is what i intend to do …so help me god in winning this..lol!
Edit! :-)
Learn to create websites and design my heart out! It would be fabulous fun!!
Won’t use it as much as I have in the past, but sure would love to have a free year of Creative Cloud!
I want to use this for both personal and academic purposes, I’m a visual communications student and for some reason my school doesn’t give students the Adobe Suite to work on our projects at home, I want this also to work on personal designing and editing, either image, video, or animation. It’d help a lot, mostly in the academic area.
Thank you very much!
I will use it to create an adult colouring in book to promote environmental awareness :)
I am still using Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign from their CS6 release, since I’m a student and can’t afford a Creative Cloud Membership. Most of my work happens as volunteer youth work, since I’m a long-time member of my local YMCA, and I’m supervising various youth groups, that often need support from a designer, for example a musical group, that needs flyers and posters for their annual shows and so on.
If I could get a Creative Cloud Membership, I’d gain access to not only the graphic design tools, but also the video editing tools, which would allow me to both support my youth group with video reports, and open a video workshop on my YMCA as well, which is a long, unfullfilled dream of mine.
Also, there are plenty of new features introduced since CS6, the multiple layer styles in the new Photoshop are kind of magic, I think ;) So, fingers crossed that I get a chance!
Hi Lukas, just wanted to mention: If you work for a non-profit organization and need Adobe software, then one avenue you could try is TechSoup.org which offers low-cost licenses for some products.
I will be starting to learn to do digital art, as well as editing the photos I already take.
I use the Adobe CC to create a work of art that is useful for others.
design New websites for Family and friends
I would make cool things, awesome things, lovely things, creative things … and stuff.
