[UPDATE – Also see our new Holiday Creative Cloud 2024 Giveaway!]
Last fall at the annual MAX conference, Adobe launched the current version of Creative Cloud, CC 2017… This major release was announced, demoed, and shipped all on day one of the show.
This year, MAX is happening next month, from October 18-20. It doesn’t seem unreasonable to presume that the next major version of Creative Cloud – CC 2018 – could well be released in the same fashion and timeframe. (For example, see the Photoshop CC “Sneak Peek” video below.)
During Adobe’s third quarter conference call Tuesday, CEO Shantanu Narayen publicly stated:
Next month’s MAX in Las Vegas will be the world’s largest creativity conference. At MAX, we will outline our expanding vision for creatives, release new Creative Cloud apps and services, and showcase amazing new technology that our brilliant scientists are working on in our labs. We hope you’re going to join us because we’re going to showcase tremendous innovation.
In addition, check out the new sign-up page to watch the MAX Keynotes streaming live:
Watch the launch – live from MAX … In this keynote, we’ll unveil major innovation across the world’s best creative system including a new generation of Creative Cloud apps, services and assets.
Below we’re giving away, absolutely free, a full year’s membership to the complete Creative Cloud – All Apps! And even if CC 2018 is not released at MAX next month, because this subscription runs for a full year and free upgrades come with it, the prizewinner will eventually receive CC 2018 anyway, whenever it comes out… This product giveaway is open to everyone worldwide.
What will the winner get? Well, Creative Cloud 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.
In all, Creative Cloud comes with 20 new desktop apps (Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC, Animate CC, Premiere Pro CC, After Effects CC, Muse CC, and all your favorites), together with other complementary tools and services (such as Acrobat Pro, Typekit fonts, Adobe Portfolio, Market Assets) and much more. See the entire contents of what’s in Creative Cloud, where all ongoing upgrades are automatically included at no additional cost.
We’ve given away over $34,000 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 Creative Cloud (estimated value US$650 / €720 / £607), to help you go from blank page to brilliant.
