Mapping values are not allowed in this context

I am getting this error:

Launching the server via the command:
  C:/Users/LENOVO/AppData/Roaming/Hugo/0.79.0/hugo.exe server --bind 127.0.0.1 -p 4321 --themesDir themes -t blank -D -F --navigateToChanged
Error: Error building site: "D:\Srishti\Year 2 Semester 1\Personal\One more\Customization\content\submission\2021-01-03-youre-a-wizard\index.md:7:1": failed to unmarshal YAML: yaml: line 6: mapping values are not allowed in this context

And these are the contents in the offending file:

---
title: "Title of Project"
link: 'url to project (Upload on Drive)'
author: Monty Python
date: 2021-01-03
major: What Major? Use Abbreviation (hcd, bssd, cac... in lowercase)
year: What Year? Use this format: year1, year2, year3, year4.
tools: What did you use to make this?
description: A brief description of your project. Not too long. Keep it sane.
---

What does this error mean and what do I do about it?

Ah, fixed it!

year: What Year? Use this format: year1, year2, year3, year.

The word format: was being read as another parameter. Enclosed that line within double-quotes.
