Your code looks fine but it is at the top of the CSS sheet, these are usually places at the end / bottom of the CSS code. Try this and see if it works.

:point_right: Always put media queries at the end of the CSS file.

That way, they can override the settings of equal specificity that occur earlier in the file (such as the other h1 rule at line 33).
