I'm unable to figure out what is wrong with this media query.

Hello everyone, I can't figure out why Treehouse is telling this media query is incorrect.

css/main.css
@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
  h1 {
  font-size: 2.5em;
  }
}




a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

h1 {
  font-family: Changa One, sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

#gallery {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

#gallery li {
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  color: #bdc3c7;
}

nav ul {
  list-style: none;
  margin: 0 10px;
  padding: 0;
}

nav li {
  display: inline-block;
}

nav a {
  font-weight: 800;
  padding: 15px 10px;
}

.profile-photo {
  display: block;
  margin: 0 auto 30px;
      max-width: 150px;
  border-radius: 100%;
}

.contact-info {
  list-style: none;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  font-size: 0.9em;
}

.contact-info a {
  display: block;
  min-height: 20px;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: 20px 20px;
  padding: 0 0 0 30px;
  margin: 0 0 10px;
}

The media query itself is fine, but it's placement is not. There is another rule farther down in the CSS file that targets the same element and has the same specificity as the rule you define in the media query. Which means that your rule gets overridden.

To avoid situations like that it's common practice to place media queries at the bottom of the CSS file. And for this task you have to do that to pass the task.

So basically just cut the media query from the top of the file and paste it at the bottom, and you will be able to continue to the next task.
