sometimes it seems so hard but not really :)

"radiation protection performance competition"
or
"radiation protection-associated performance competition"

would come closest to the Austrian "Leistungsbewerbe".

Definition of Bewerbe in Duden Taschenbücher "Wie sagt man in Österreich?"
Bewerb Wettbewerb, Wettkampf: sich für einen Bewerb anmelden, den Gegner, die Mannschaft aus dem Bewerb werfen; dass Sänger ... und Kapellen gleichzeiitg zu diesem Bewerb zugelassen waren (Vorarlberger Nachrichten, 30. 11. 1968).

Hence Bewerb = Wettbewerb -> competition
and Leistung -> performance

e.g. (along the same line)
The Ecological Performance Competition 'The Earth Day' held this year was dedicated to the ethical problems of reciprocal relations: 'Human Beings and Nature'.
