What is blameworthy fame (shuhrah) in Islam? Is it the fame that leads to arrogance, or is the pursuit of fame and natural accomplishments, and the love of prominence and distinction, not blameworthy or forbidden if it is devoid of haughtiness and arrogance?

For worldly matters, a servant is rewarded for their sincerity in them, and they do not incur sin by intending ostentation and love of prominence; however, there is no reward for them. As long as you have rid yourself of arrogance, there is no sin upon you if the matter is worldly. Nevertheless, it is advisable to change or modify the goal to become one of benefiting Muslims, expanding opportunities for them, and occupying their youth with permissible sports instead of forbidden acts. The motivations for loving prominence are innate, but Islamic law regulates and restricts them, just as it regulates other impulses like the need for food. It is commendable to love advancement in competition concerning matters of the Hereafter.
