We've relayed multiple times that the Apple Back to School Promotion would be starting at any minute. The predictions starting kicking off a few weeks ago with today even being suggested a possible launch date. We're finally going to see Apple's Back to School promotion launching tomorrow (June 16th), and we actually have photographic proof of the imminent launch.

In the fine print it specifically lists "June 16th" as the launch date with the promotion running until September 20, 2011".

The Mac App Store will be the distribution point for Mac OS X Lion and Final Cut Pro X.
Update: iSpazio.net reports that European Apple Back to School will also be kicking off with a 75 Euro gift card.
