Awesome Giveaway Weekends on Softpedia

Come April 23, Softpedia will introduce a new campaign designed to deliver high-quality software to dedicated readers. The goal of the initiative is to promote the featured software and, of course, to reward our users with free licenses in exchange for a small effort.

As the giveaway campaign will occur on a weekly basis and lasts from Saturday until Friday, we’ll post an article during the weekend, presenting the featured software. What you have to do in order to become eligible is simply punch in some lines in the comments section of that article. This means that you have one week to cook up our comment and post it to that article. Comments posted at a later date will not be considered for the giveaway.

We do not require beautifully-penned compositions from you, nor loud appraisal targeting said program, but words springing from your experience with the application or a similar product; a presentation of the ups and downs or a comparison with a program of the same feather would be great.

At the same time, linking to a video you made with the product would be just as awesome – not to mention that it would give you an edge over other participants.

The apps we’re giving away in partnership with their developers cover a wide gamut of categories, from security, system optimization or image editing to file/folder backup, download improvement, secure erasing or benchmarking.

Each week, at least ten Softpedia users will receive free license codes for the software featured in the weekend giveaway. However, don’t let this number discourage you, since we also have some hot, five-star products ready to find their way to up to 100 users.

Needless to say, if you want to receive a free-license-code appreciation from us, we require you to use a valid email address when posting the comment. As you already know, it won’t be displayed online; we need it in order to contact the winners.

To sum it all up, starting April 23, you can win free licenses every week. You can post multiple comments or have your girlfriend / boyfriend contribute with a few lines for an extra chance to win.

For a full list of the software featured in our giveaway campaign you can check this article on a weekly basis, check the weekly giveaway tag or receive the info by following the Softpedia Giveaway Twitter account.

Note: The winners will be picked from the comments section of the article presenting the giveaway product and we will contact them in 5-10 days after the giveaway expires. They will have to provide their full name in private (when required) in order to collect their prize. No other information except for the lines of your comment and the alias/nickname will appear online.

All licenses are provided by the software developer and we guarantee for their validity. However, neither we, nor the developer take responsibility if user actions lead to invalidating the license codes.
