DALLAS – The Army & Air Force Exchange Service is partnering with Unilever to offer Exchange shoppers the chance to sink their teeth into $16,000 worth of electronics.

Just in time for back-to-school, six Exchange winners will take home an Apple MacBook, iPad 2 and iPod, as well as a $25 iTunes gift card. Eligible shoppers simply need to fill out an entry form at their local Exchange for a chance to win.

“Each prize package is worth $2,500, and comes with enough processing power to support every facet of an active lifestyle,” said the Exchange’s Acting Chief of Staff Col. Colice Powell. “From streaming music and videos to surfing the web, this sweepstakes has something for everyone.”

The Exchange’s ‘Apple Sweepstakes’ will be accepting entries from August 12 through September 1. The drawing will take place on or about October 12, and the winners will then be notified.
