BERLIN, N.J., June 7, 2016 -- Leading arts and craft retailer, A.C. Moore today announced a partnership with The Crystal Coast, North Carolina's Gem, launching a video contest in search of a deserving couple who will win a DIY dream wedding. From June 7- August 7, couples are encouraged to create a 1-minute or less video, sharing their love story and why they should win a wedding hosted by A.C. Moore and The Crystal Coast. To qualify, entrants can post their video to the "Craft Me a Crystal Coast Wedding" contest tab on the official A.C.
