[UPDATE – Also see our new Spring Creative Cloud 2023 Giveaway!]
Last month, Adobe shipped the all-new CC 2018 set of tools and services – a milestone marking the sixth major release of the CC product line, which replaced CS6 from 2012. This latest CC version contains thousands of new features and advancements compared to CS6 (across all creative applications), and it is available only via Creative Cloud membership – a community which now surpasses 30 million paid subscribers.
Adobe CC 2018 is also known as the Creative Cloud 2018 Release… And that is exactly what we’re giving away for free below, and this offer is open to everyone worldwide.
In all, Creative Cloud 2018 comes with 19 new desktop applications (Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC, Animate CC, Muse CC, Premiere Pro CC, After Effects CC, and many others – as well as newcomers Dimension CC, Character Animator CC, and XD CC), together with other complementary tools and services (such as Acrobat Pro, Typekit fonts, Adobe Portfolio, Creative Cloud Market, Adobe Spark Premium), and much more. See the entire contents of what’s in Creative Cloud, where all ongoing upgrades are automatically included at no additional cost.
The company also reset the free tryout periods for all programs – so anyone can now download the CC 2018 trial versions, install and run them alongside older releases if desired, and then use the new products completely free for 7 days. As before, the CC software generally can be installed and activated on up to two systems (including both Windows and Mac), and can be easily moved between different machines as required.
We’ve given away over $35,000 worth of Adobe software over the years… And for this new giveaway, the prizewinner drawn will receive a fully-paid annual “All Apps” membership to CC 2018 Release (estimated value US$650 / €738 / £563), so you have everything to create anything. Our thanks go out to Adobe Systems for generously furnishing this prize.

I enjoy making game avatars for game members; it helps me to run away from my big life problems by thinking something else than on those problems, as probably I wouldn’t even be alive now if I didn’t have another distraction.
i love adobe products
A year of Adobe CC 2018 will help me work! I create websites & digital art professionally.
This would allow me to bring my Photoshop skills up to date and to learn the other products in CC. I could get back into graphic design!
With the new CC — I’ll create some YT magic, bedazzle my IG posts and absolutely concentrate my creative juice ?
Check out whether the repair tools in Photoshop have changed.
Investigate any revisions to the photography tools in Photoshop.
Will certainly help develop my imagination using the new tools and features.

Becoming an Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) :)
Create awesome graphics for 2018!
Start my photography business with my sister!
Use it for my work, as a freelance graphic artist
Omg, if I only won, I could use it for creating my graduation film, which I’m working on right now! Adobe tools are really invaluable in the process – animating in Photoshop, creating sound in Audition, adding special effects and compositing in AE, editing in Premiere Pro – it just makes it so much easier with an access to all of those tools, which enable shuffling the content between the programs. Sadly Adobe membership is super-pricey for me, since I leave in Eastern Europe we have different currency than euros, and 60 euros per month in almost one third of what I pay for rent XD. So as a poor student, currently working on an animation, who already used the one-year discount plan, it would mean so much to win free membership.
Hi Klaudia, note that after the first year discount of over 60% for students, Adobe still gives an educational discount of at least 40% for all subsequent years…
So while the standard commercial price of the complete Creative Cloud (“All Apps”) is around 60 euros, the regular student & teacher price is much less than that.
i need the student know-all adobe product.
use it at home
Adobe products are the Gold standards in the respective areas. For any photography enthusiast, be it beginner or a pro, Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom are the first choice for any photographer. Now that the new Subscription based model has arrived, I would brush up my beginner skills to shoot more and then Process with the Creative Cloud products like the Lightroom and Photoshop.
Love the Adobe suite. I use it at work daily. And I also do pro bono work for non-profits; brochures, flyers, websites, logos…whatever they need to be visible and effective. I would be delighted to have the latest CC suite to help these organizations be more visible and effective.
Hey there, if you happen to need or use Adobe software for a non-profit or charitable organization, then you might want to look into TechSoup for discounts.
I need the Adobe cloud to work on an independent film.
I would use it for self-publishing music, artwork and vides of various bands I’m involved with. As we are not signing a label and self-financing everything we do, this is an opportunity to use professional tools to get the job done. I think music belongs to the makers and listeners, not huge corporations in music business who sign the contract and thus own the intellectual property of the actual artists.
I Would Help teach the people learn how to use Adobe products in their work and studies With a lifetime membership.
I will donate this membership to one of my students who I know has tremendous potential but is really struggling financially yet still managing to study via bursary while working a night job to support his parents.

I will learn to make animations to help my students visualize the biological mechanisms they must learn. Graphics are important in biology class!
