Spanish term or phrase: concursadas
I am translating a text on statistics related to the selection process for judges in Argentina. There are various headings and figures:

Concursos en Trámite
Vacantes *****concursadas****
Vacantes con concurso concluido
Vacantes con concurso en trámite

Any suggestion?
Thanks for your help.

English translation:Total selection processes [for vacancies]
Explanation:
A tricky one. On the presumption that what this means is the number of times selection processes have been opened to candidates to fill a vacancy, I think "vacantes concursadas" could be rendered as "total vacancy-selection processes".

Vacantes concursadas > Total vacancy selection processes
Vacantes con concurso concluido > Vacancy selection complete
Vacantes con concurso en trámite > Vacancy selection pending

It looks like "competitive exams" is the best option.
