Happy New Year! Win a Free CS5.5 Web Premium Suite ($1,800)

[UPDATE – Also see our new Holiday Creative Cloud 2024 Giveaway!]

Welcome 2012!  Last year we gave away a lot of software, so to kick off the new year right, we’re going to be giving away a brand new boxed copy of the Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Web Premium suite. This is one of the top-selling CS editions and the second largest prize we’ve ever done…

Creative Suite 5.5 was officially released in May, and contains a large number of new product features and improve­ments over CS5.  But this giveaway is not an upgrade or an education version – it is the shrinkwrapped, full commercial English version of CS 5.5.

CS5.5 Web Premium sells for $1,799 / €1,999 / £1,429 and includes the popular applications Photoshop Extended, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, Acrobat X Pro, Flash Pro/Catalyst, Fireworks, among others… (see the complete list of products it contains)  If you want to try it out first and install it on your computer, that’s easy as the free trial is available for download for both Windows and Mac OS.

Owning Creative Suite 5.5 would also make you eligible to upgrade to CS6 when that product line eventually releases.

This giveaway is open to residents of North America, Europe/UK, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa – and all you need to do for a chance to win is the following three steps:

1. Follow us on Twitter and/or Like our Facebook page – this will allow us to contact you if you win…  (see “Subscribe” box at upper right)
2. Then tweet 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.
3. 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 Adobe CS5.5 Premium Suite. Please, one entry per reader for each method, but feel free to tell your friends and colleagues who’d like to win as well.

Submissions are open until 11:59pm EST on Tuesday, January 31st, 2012.  The prizewinner will be drawn at random from all Facebook fans and Twitter followers who have also 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 Web 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.
