[UPDATE – Also see our all-new Creative Cloud 2021 Giveaway!]
Welcome Spring! In recent years we’ve given away over $23,000 worth of new Adobe software, so to kick off the new season right we’re going to be giving away two brand new boxes: the Adobe CS6 Design & Web Premium Suite plus Photoshop CS6 – with a collective value of US$2,600 – and it’s open worldwide!
Creative Suite 6, Adobe’s flagship product line, has been doing very well in recent months… Available standalone for instant download or as the centerpiece of the popular Creative Cloud offering, there are many key differences in this release compared to CS5 and earlier, including hundreds of new features added to all the applications, major performance improvements, user interface enhancements, and much more.
And now we’re thrilled to give away new boxed copies of Adobe’s two best-selling CS6 products to our terrific readers who have helped build our site to what it is today… Just check out our most read posts over the past four years to see what you’ve helped create!
The Design Suite sells for $1,899 / €1,837 / £1,509 and contains over $4,000 in individual tools, including the industry-leading Photoshop Extended, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat X Pro, Flash Pro, among others… (see the complete list of programs 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. All the tools (and much more) are also available through a free tryout of the Creative Cloud.
Install now: Get all new Creative Cloud 2021 direct download links and free trials.
For this new giveaway, we will be picking two winners. The first prizewinner drawn will receive the full CS6 Design & Web Premium Suite for either PC or Mac, and then the runner-up will receive Photoshop CS6 (worth $699 / €676 / £556) as a consolation prize. Note these are not upgrade or student versions – these are the shrinkwrapped, full commercial English releases of CS6.
[ Note to readers: This will be our last giveaway of boxed software as Adobe will soon be discontinuing boxed versions of Creative Suite.]

I plan to use Adobe CS6 Premium Suite and/or Photoshop CS6 to continue to help make a living for my newborn son and to continue to create amazing artwork for my customer base.
As an amateur photographer I would love to ggo Pro with the Adobe Suite instead of my current Gimp. :-)
This would be neat to have, I love Adobe products
With CS6 I will be able to upgrade my software for my graphic design business.
Rule the world, BAAAAHAAAAWAAAHHAA, or at least make it look cool.
I want to create WordPress themes, especially with a genealogy/family history theme. I also want to create desktop calendars (SmashingMagazine.com features a bunch of these every month). I’m sure that if I win, once I start using the programs I’ll find more things to do with them.
I want this soooooo bad!
“What do you plan to do with the Adobe CS6 Premium Suite and/or Photoshop CS6?”
A: As an aspiring photographer, Photoshop CS6 could light up my world and take me wherever I would like to go in this digital art.
It would be very helpful to keep up with increasing demands that are coming in.
Use it for panorama stitching and timelapse creation. My files are waiting on the disk for the day I will get Photoshop.
Photoshop CS6 would greatly enhance my photo editing and digital scrapbooking abilities! (Right now I’m only using PSE9)
Make unbelievable pictures.
CS6 Premium Suite, I’m going to use this tool for my graphics design. I really want this one!!
I plan to use Adobe CS6 Premium Suite and/or Photoshop CS6 to further my knowledge of photography and photo editing.
There’s no point answering the question, I’m not going to win regardless.
LOL Marcus – tell that to all of our previous winners… :)
Definitely I would consolidate my entire production process to just one solid platform. Instead of using multiple and sometimes incompatible applications.
I would use CS6 (or Photoshop CS6) as improved tools to provide my clients excellent graphic results.
I would bring my photos to life and hopefully grow my new photo design company.
Great giveaway thanks.
I would be able to make wonderful themes.
I would get off my butt and go out a shoot a series of photographs about churches in Las Vegas, use Photoshop to process the work, illustrator to create the logo for the series, InDesign to lay the book out for print and a free ePub, and Dreamweaver to build a site about the photo series.
And then I would take a break.
Winning would be the ultimate thrill! Use Creative Suite every day–need the update to keep up to date!
I plan to change the world with compelling design and amazing imagery all created using Adobe CS6 Premium Suite and/or Photoshop CS6.
I plan to use them to start a new business working for myself.
Start to catch up with new features in CS6, as I haven’t upgraded since CS3…
I want to create my family photo and landscape albums and want to use the new “Painting” brushes in CS6. I would love to expand my creativity as far as the possibility of using the “Painting” features! Love Adobe products! Thanks!
