The Pardo for Best Performance (English: Leopard for Best Performance; Italian : Pardo per la migliore interpretazione) [1] is an award given at the Locarno International Film Festival. It was first awarded in 2023. In 2022, the Locarno Film Festival announced that the two acting categories would be retired and replaced with one gender neutral category, with both Best Actor and Best Actress merging into two Pardo Awards for the Best Performances category.
