Stuck on media query challenge

The challenge is for me to set a break-point at 480px, then inside the break-point, change the h1 font-size to 2.5em.

@media screen and (max-width: 480px) { h1 { font-size: 2.5em; }}

Based on the videos this should be the answer, but when I add it to the top of the page it is not accepting it. Help please!

css/main.css 
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;
}

Hi Kendal, you need to add it to the bottom of the CSS. It reads from top to bottom, so whats happening is the styles are being overwritten later in the file. It should also be 'min-width'.

Add this to the bottom and it should be all good.

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

Thanks! Adding it to the bottom fixed the problem.
