Contests/Competitions for "Freestyle" Arabic Calligraphy

Since the category of "freestyle" Arabic calligraphy apparently exists, are there any contests/competitions in it (or any other means of recognizing whether or not someone does "good work," if it is not in any known style)?

Best resources for a Mushaf?

What are the best pens and ink to write a Mushaf in naskh? Also, what books or paper (if i could bind it myself) could I buy thats large enough for a Mushaf and strong enough for fountain pens?

Ideas/Proposals for Modifying the Arabic Script

Would this be the right subreddit to post proposals to modify the existing Arabic script (e.g., the proposals of Nasri Khattar or Saad Abulhab) or even change it altogether (e.g., proposals to "revive" the South Arabian Musnad script), so long as the post included artwork in the proposed script?

What exactly is an ijazah in calligraphy (and does it make any difference if one has one or not)? As well, how does one approach a calligrapher one would like to learn from (whether one obtains an ijazah or not)?

I'm asking because I have seen conflicting reports as to what an ijazah is and whether or not one even needs this qualification. As well, I have been reluctant to approach any calligraphers (as far as learning particular scripts from them) because I don't want to "burn bridges before crossing them" by seeming "disrespectful."

paper type check

I ordered some sample papers of https://paperworks.com/store/products/futura-gloss-80lb120g-text-8-12x11-500pkg thought this would be good enough for calligraphy with bamboo pens. but need expert opinion of you guys if this looks correct? considering the description of the paper I attached, what should I look for as an alternative if this paper is not good. thanks!

Writing surface

How soft of a surface should I put my paper on? I'm currently using a mousepad which is slightly too soft for me I think. What's the standard that people use?
